Welcome to Crystal Impressions! If you are looking for beautiful unique jewelry you have come to the right place. Here you will find designs that capture the natural beauty of these stones, with an individual character that can't be found at the local mega-department or discount stores.

I found my passion for creating and designing jewelry only a few years ago. I have always been drawn to the beauty of jewelry: semi-precious gemstones, diamonds, crystals, and so on. When I started looking for casual jewelry, I was very disappointed by the available selections. Everything seemed so drab and identical, and just didn't seem to match ME. So I started looking for beads, and before long I found myself absolutely enthralled by the characteristic beauty only found in the natural stones, with their color variations, spider-webbing, swirling patterns, and diversity. After growing my personal collection, I've decided to share my creativity and designs to others looking for the affordable uniqueness that is my inspiration.

I only use all Sterling Silver and 14kt gold-filled materials in all of my creations, unless otherwise noted. I carefully select all of the gemstone beads strand by strand, and I look for stones with interesting colors, shapes and textures. Creativity must be inspired! I tend to get bored easily with too many stones of the same color shape and size, so I rarely buy items in bulk. This means that most often each creation is a one-of-a-kind piece or matched set.

Custom orders are very welcome. Please contact me if you are interested in having something custom made. Because my creations are one-of-a-kind and unique, I like to know about the person I'm creating for, whether for a gift or for yourself, and then I select materials and try to fit the individual’s personality, style and tastes into the design. Because of the creativity effort involved, custom orders take 2-3 weeks for me to complete and deliver the items. Rush designs are possible if you work with me, and the sooner we get started the better :)

Many of my necklace creations are available as a matched set with bracelet and/or earrings. These sets can be purchased either complete, or as individual pieces. If you see an unmatched necklace and must have a bracelet and earrings to match, please let me know ASAP and I can get creatively busy on that for you.
