Welcome to Through Mari's Eyes

hand crafted jewelry ~ an experience

When I am not designing my one-of-a-kind pieces I am on a continuous quest to locate the perfect ancient amber bead, the most luminous chunk of American Beauty turquoise, Opals from all over the world, funky Vintage Brooklyn plastic, Sworovski crystals that pop. I'll often purchase antique jewelry that has one exquisite bead or clasp that is perfect for a project. I am extremely particular about every single component that goes into each design therefore allowing it to reflect in my work.

I'm so glad that you're here. Come on in and visit my necklace, earring and bracelet galleries. I also have a gallery that has other goodies, such as adornment for your boots! Anklets, cool (not frumpy!) eyeglass jewelry, bookmarks, etc. ~ Enjoy the experience!

 

 

Fun Jewelry Factoids

* Native Americans draped their horses in Turquoise for spiritual protection.

* Mayans, Olmecs and Aztecs considered Jade more precious than gold.

* Amber is fossilized sap of extinct trees from 60 million years ago. This is most likely the first gem like material used for adornment.
