Using one's voice is empowering. Getting past the overbearing or over critical parent, spouse, boss, co-worker, friend, etc. and using your own voice is freedom. It also benefits us all to hear your unique spin based on your experiences and inner being. You just might have the answer we've been waiting for or the light that reaches the darkest soul.

For the Love of the Vine

Batu Manakarra (aka grape agate,) sterling silver

Ever since I read the article in Lapidary Journal about Batu Manakarra and saw Lexi Erickson's pendant I was on the hunt for pieces of this unusual and beautiful stone. I've got a couple more pieces waiting for inspiration, but with the largest piece cut by Gerald Howard into a heart shape I created the brooch above. It's one of the pieces I'm extremely proud of as my vision for it came into reality.
