I’m proud to introduce you to my newest sponsor, Rock of Ages, home of beautiful and unique, one of a kind pendants, beads, and leather chokers.
Jeanette Cotton is the artist behind these lovely pieces. She carefully selects each stone and she’s developed a very eclectic and impressive line of pieces.
I was very intrigued by her description of the concept behind her work: “Since before the begining of all time the mother earth has been an impressive 8,000 mile rock! The pendants and stone beads I’m selling are her off-spring and through talented lapidarist eyes created into brillant pieces of art!”
When designing jewelry Jeanette draws on the colors in nature and paints with beads. She is not intimidated by color and shows that fearlessness in her work. She uses Tibetan silver from the Karen Hill Tribe, Bali silver, quality semi-precious stones, crystals, a variety of pearls, and beautiful handmade lamp beads.
Her eye for the obscure inspires her more unique pieces which include such rarities as dinosaur bone, mummy beads, and petrified coral, to name a few.
Jeanette has recently begun adding leather chokers to her shop. These come in beautiful custom colors and are made to size. In the future she also hopes to add handmade earwire and other components for jewely making.
Looking through Jeanette’s shop, it’s obvious that she is a gifted artist with a real passion for her craft and a love of everything nature has to offer. Go by Rock of Ages to see all of Jeanette’s beautiful creations! You can also check out her other shop Painted Lady Designs. And keep up with her on her facebook page!
