About Us
Ruby Plaza has announced it's closing. To find me in the future: I have a website named SilvertreeJewelry .com. I also have jewelry shops on Artfire and Zibbet both called Silvertree.

I design and make all of the jewelry in my shop using dichroic glass, sterling silver, gold, semi-precious stones, and beads. The gem stones and beads that I use I hand pick at wholesale gem shows. Each item that I make is unique and individually handmade. My inspiration comes from the profusion of beautiful materials that are available for making jewelry.

I started making sterling silver jewelry over 40 years ago in a high school art class. In college, I was a fine arts major specializing in jewelry and ceramics, and decided that I preferred to make jewelry. Later in life I studied gemology through the Gemological Institute of America Home Study Courses. I received certificates in Colored Stones, Gem Identification, and Diamonds. Finally, I taught myself how to kiln-fuse glass 6 years ago to add more dimension to my jewelry work.

For my kiln-fused glass work, I start with sheets of glass which I cut into little pieces and fuse into new, beautiful pieces. I use glass saws and diamond grinding tools to shape the glass. The glass pieces may go into the kiln as many as three times, ending with the final polish firing in the kiln. After the glass work is done I construct my settings to fit the individual glass pieces.
