Hi!  My name is Meredith Laskow and I've been making jewelry for over 30 years.  I work in a large variety of materials:  semi-precious gemstones, glass, freshwater pearls, wood, and anything else that catches my eye.  My creations are currently sold at arts and craft fairs, galleries and retail shops.  I have over 1000 different designs, which of course can't all be on this website due to size and time limitations.  If you're looking for something within my general style, ask me!  I gladly do custom orders.  You can specify size, color, earring backs (including non-pierced), whatever.  Just send an email describing what you want, and we'll work from there.

GUARANTEE

One of the keys to longevity in this business is customer service.  All of my products carry a lifetime guarantee on labor and normal wear and tear.  If a hook or string breaks five years from now, send it back for repair.  I'm good for it.

MATERIALS

All of my materials are natural, undyed and never reconstituted.  The exceptions to this rule:  bronze and black pearls are color heat-treated; opals are laboratory-grown; and cherry- , lemon- and blue quartz are also lab-grown. 

The code "SS" means that all silver-color beads and hooks are sterling silver;  "GF" means that all gold-color is 14-karat gold-filled (NOT gold plate) except for bead caps and toggle clasps which are vermeil.  When items are available in both SS and GF, prices will be listed for both.

FOR THE DO-IT-YOURSELFER:
I carry bulk findings in pierced earwires in sterling silver, 14 kt. gold-filled and surgical steel;  non-pierced earring backs in sterling, gold-filled and plate; and miscellaneous findings (beads, headpins, jump rings, etc.) in sterling, gold-filled and copper.

Due to popular request, I have another new website Gaia Gems featuring religious and cultural jewelry.

Sunday, June 7, 2009:  Definitely not your grandmother's pearls!  Not that there's anything wrong with Grandma's classic pearl set, but this ain't them.  Fun, contemporary styling.  Pearl is the birthstone for June.

Below:  Faceted rubies are combined with 7.5mm AA pearls in your choice of 14 kt. gold-filled findings (shown) or sterling silver.  Ruby is July's birthstone.
