About Us
SHOP UPDATE March 2012: Because of the overwhelming response of my customers and other jewelry artisans, I will be keeping my Ruby Lane store open for the time being. I am deeply honored that some of the voices came from the jewelry artisans that I most admire for their creativity and generous spirits. Thank you, good Ladies all.

At the urging of my customers (and again, many other designers), I've started a Facebook page. You can find me under Strega2 Jewelry. I have very mixed feelings about social networking, so please bear with me if this is a slow process!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Strega2 Jewelry. I have several degrees in Medieval History and a lifelong passion for the art and culture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. I originally began creating jewelry adapted from this period for myself, because it was almost impossible to find. The reception among friends and colleagues was so positive that I began selling it at select juried craft shows and then on the Internet.

I worked and trained with a master jeweler for several years to put myself through college and graduate school, and my online store has provided the perfect showcase to combine these 2 lifelong passions--finely crafted original designer jewelry, and the history of Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Europe.

Every woman is a Goddess in her own way. Cultures throughout history have honored the strength, beauty and character of women in these archetypes. My Goddess line of jewelry is designed to let you express the unique personality that is you, and only you, my Lady.

I will gladly design and craft custom orders whenever possible. We can discuss this via email, and I will send scans of the finished product for the buyer's approval. Photos of your custom item will not be shown in my store. Custom orders, crafted to your specifications, are non-returnable and non-refundable.

I keep a small representative sample of Sold Items in my shop, but if you wish to buy a particular past item, please email me. I probably still have the photographs.

I sold my original artisan jewelry on EBay under the same name for over 12 years, before moving exclusively to Ruby Lane. I have built a loyal and very large international customer base through excellent customer service and communication, and finely crafted artisan jewelry. Since 1998 my policy has been that "Customer Service is my top priority!" All jewelry is shipped in a gold jewelry box, perfect for keeping or gift-giving.

There is not enough room here to publish the thousands of customer testimonials I've received over the years. But you can view my EBay feedback under Strega2, where I have almost 9500 unique positives (this does not count the many repeat buyers). I was a Powerseller for 10 years.

Most of my designs are adaptations of historical styles, but with my own interpretation. My original techniques, concepts, titles and descriptions have been quite widely imitated by many of the newer designers. Jewelry copycats operate just beneath the radar of the copyright laws, cashing in on the creativity and hard work of others. You will find the originals here.

You may pay by PayPal, Money Order or personal check (checks must clear before shipping). I offer a 20% discount if you pay by check or Money Order. Sorry, no International shipping unless you are already an established customer. No new international accounts will be accepted at this time.
