All pieces she crafts began as an intricate wax mold that she then fine tunesbrto make them extraordinary and unique. Kristen explained that the South SeabrPearls are particular stones she enjoys working with because of their organicbrshape. The Multicolored sapphires are also intriguing due to the array ofbrcolors they provide. “I love the clashing colors of opals too” she mentionedbrwhile describing all of the beautiful stones she works with.
