ETSY here I come!

Well I am happy to say I had my first three sales on ETSY this week - yay! I have had my ETSY site for awhile but hadn't quite got the hang of it until now. I have had three positive sales and it is INSPIRING! It feels good to hear what others think of my jewelry ...here is a positive note I received from my 1st customer. It just made my day!

  "Crystal--The carnelian bracelet has arrived and it is delightful! I love it. The stones absolutely glow. This bracelet makes me feel happy, and isn't that what we hope for when we make such a purchase?! Thank you for a great piece of jewelry, fast shipping, and a seamless transaction that could not have been easier. You have a wonderful shop that I will definitely browse again in the future. - Elizabeth"

A Few of My Favorite Custom Designs

One of the things I love about designing jewelry is the freedom to make anything. While I seem to have no shortage of ideas, I am always enlightened by the unique designs some of my customers have come up with over the years. While I definitely put my own flair on each piece, it is so much fun to see the creative ideas of others. Here are some pictures of my favorite Custom Orders I have made for people. Enjoy!

Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day...a day of celebration! I spent the afternoon with amazing friends and all of our children at the Dinosaur Caves Park in Shell Beach. It was beautiful, live music filled the air and the kids were full of contagious energy. It was a wonderful day and made me so thankful for my family and friends. Happy Mother's Day to all those Beautiful Mama's out there!

Celebrating with Friends

Today we joined friends in celebrating their son's birthday...a great moment for any parent. I found myself smiling and laughing with each and every person I met there, grateful to live in such a warm and inviting community. Children were running and jumping around, bellies full of cake and fruit punch....adults were laughing and chatting with one another, so thankful for a moment of adult conversation. It was a fantastic day.

Now what does this day have to do with my business or my passion for beads? A lot! I was simply touched as I walked from room to room, visiting with friends...noticing one by one that they were ALL wearing my creations! What an amazing feeling! As one person I had just met would ask, "And what do you do?"...I could simply point at any one of my wonderful friends and say "I make jewelry". It was such a warm feeling to be surrounded by such a supportive group of women. A wonderful moment to see that they all adorned themselves with my creations for this special celebration today. One where everyone wanted to feel and look their best...to know that their best included my jeweled designs was plain and simple...awesome.
Thanks to my community of friends, for making me feel that what I do is special.

Welcome to Siva Creations Jewelry!

This is the story of my journey...


  I have always had a creative side to me, something my mom always told me I was born with. When I was a child I could be found burying my arms deep into the soil, picking berries and acorns off my mother's plants and baking mud pies that Martha Stewart herself would be proud of. When I became a teenager I could often be caught spending an entire weekend laying on our deck reading book after book...many read so many times before that the covers had fallen off. As a yound adult I spent morning, noon, and night writing poetry and creating short stories...I often had so many in my head that my fingers could not write the words down fast enough! But it wasn't until I became a true adult, out in the world on my own, that I found my true calling ~ Jewelry!
  To me there is nothing more lovely that seeing my coffee table strewn with strands of raw gemstone beads... carved pendants stacked in rows, ready for the choosing. I have spent countless days and nights working my fingers to the bone, just to push all the creative designs out of my brain and onto the bead-board! Bliss!
  Now mother to an amazing (and very busy) 3 year old...wife to my husband and longtime love...life is not as easy. :) Beads have to be put away before each morning to make way for pancake breakfasts and are only dragged out after 9pm when the little man of the house is fast asleep in his pj's. But you know what?  LIFE is grand! I am blessed with the love of two great men...one my partner in all things...and the other my little "mini-me" following my every step. I wouldn't change a thing and am enjoying to process of learning how to balance all these Good Things along the way.

Please enjoy the photographs of my new work and favorite pieces.  I love what I do...and I do what I love.
