Returning to the root of this creation for the first year anniversary of the passing of my older sister, Claudette.
The story behind this large seahorse is quite memorable.
I found ‘Romeo’ after a storm while visiting her at her home in the Hamptons.
I always head out to beach comb especially after a storm. My sister (having lived near this remarkable Hampton Beach already many years) was upset that I came for a short visit and found such a treasure.
I explained the exact place of discovery. She promptly ran out to look herself and miraculously returned with a smaller she discovered near by to where I told her I had found mine.
We named them ‘Romeo and Juliette’.
Did you know that seahorse couples stay together their whole life long and that it is the male that Carie’s and gives birth to their many offspring?
The mold was made after this Findling. Cast in sterling silver and set with a red coral branch and blue moonstone drop cabochon representing the water.
This necklace was one part of the nature elements collection that awarded me a recognition to the Kunst Akademie in Munich.
I am happy that a friend, a lovely young mother was gifted this necklace by her parents for her graduation many years ago.

The morning after, my evening jewels.
The traditional design and granulate technique for the ‘King Ring’ was the inspiration to create this statement ring set with a beautiful facetted Ruby.
12 years ago we started our jewelry label ‘Hoi Sang, Unique Lao Jewelry’ in Luang Prabang, Laos, to create, preserve and develop the traditional craft of jewelry making while helping to better the lives of craftsmen through selling to visitors in-country.
Today this business is 100% with the original team in country, but I am proud to show you all we have accomplished!

The morning after my evenings jewels.
30 years ago my husband gave me these two Mikimoto pearls from Japan and I created one of my first pearl setting designs. I did not imagine, that I would be wearing these earrings 30 years later to celebrate our what is called ´Pearl’ wedding anniversary.
Life is full of surprises expected and unexpected.
