My studio is my laboratory…
“I thrive on experimentation in my creative process. Embracing new and challenging techniques is integral to my growth. When curating new collections, I strive to keep my options open, drawing inspiration from the intricate details of nature. Geometric petal patterns, the hues of an autumn landscape, and delicate insect wings are just a few things that fuel my creativity. My hope is that those who wear my pieces will be inspired to see nature through a fresh lens.“
I am loving my new banner! This really snaps up my table booth! Now it feels like a real booth! Come see me next weekend or Belvedere in Bloom and get ahead start on Mother’s Day! #market #makecicadatime #jewelry #handmade
I used a mathematical formula to create this thick bezel around this tiny jasper and I am dumbfounded. This could quite possibly be the most mathematically perfect bezel I have ever fitted. Seriously. Math works. Numbers never lie! Only humans do!!! 🧐 #bezelsetting #math #mathworks #makecicadatime @molly_rose_jewelry
My booth banner is finished!!! Just an hour on the sewing machine and my new pole system! The whole project cost about $29. It’s that time of year where I need to take updated booth pictures. What do you think? #makecicadatime #boothdesign #jewelryshow #craftmarket #craftshow
It was only a matter of time that I would get a cicada wax seal… I can’t control myself #makecicadatime #cicada #waxseal #stamp #jewelry #embossing
My booth is getting an upgrade with all the shows I have coming up! As such, i bought an over-the-bench pole to hang signage, lights or decoration depending on the occasion/style of market. I’m also creating a banner for my tent as well. Can’t wait to show this classy look!!!
Delicious new Color Circus baubles just got added to that collection! Lots of new colors ready for summer! #makecicadatime #color #jewelry #handpainted #handmade
Blossoms and twig ring setting for this glass cabochon are complete! This weekend I created this and a matching cicada and now I think I have the start of a new collection. Moths and other blossom designs are coming next!

Cocktail ring in progress! This glass cabochon is something that I bought when I was in Europe probably about 15 years ago and it’s been sitting in my box forever and ever waiting for just the right idea and now I’m ready to make this into something that will match my newest cicada. #makecicadatime #glass #europeanvacation #viennaglamour #silverring #jewelry
Here comes my newest cicada origami pendant design and the unofficial launch of a new collection called Japanese Summer! More designs coming soon!!

I create unique custom pieces
Many ask, ‘Do you take custom orders?’ The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’ I adore crafting unique pieces for clients and their loved ones. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Mother’s and Father’s Days, or any special occasion—you name it.
I also craft pieces to honor loved ones, including pets. My process blends mementos, old photos, and found objects to create cherished treasures. It all begins with a photo or a story. Curious to know more? Inquire about starting the process.
