About Us
I dream in jewelry and work in many different mediums including my own lampwork art glass and imported lampwork glass. Also you will find jewelry designed with polymer, gemstones, pearls, vintage crystals as well as new crystals, French seed beaded jewelry, Venetian seed beaded jewelry and accessories. I am in a constant state of experimentation with composition and trying new things! Check back often to see what is new! If you see a design that you like, that isn't quite the way you want it, I am happy to alter or custom design adornments that are more exactly suited to your needs! Check out my links list! My blog Spot is at the top of the list! Feel free to ask questions and/or make comments! All Sterling designs are preserved in large Silver Safe Jewelry Storage Cases until shipped. If you have any questions about caring for Silver please ask! It's beautiful and it's easy!

Beginning January 20th of 2008, I began hosting a new online radio talk show called THE JEWELRY CONNECTION with audio/video support! The entire format of the show is dedicated to:

1. Introducing independent artisan Jewelry Designers
2. Entertaining those who enjoy one of a kind original designs in wearable art. Update 11/2008: This program is now bringing in audiences of between 6000 and 8000 live listeners every Sunday afternoon!

What"s offered?

Interviews with designers, discussion about design, recommendations for online sites for visiting the craft, and topics on different mediums in design combined with some wonderful entertainment in the form of music offers a 100% positive experience in the visitation of the broadcast room, which plays 24/7 except for down time to tune up the programming!

Artisans have an opportunity for a live interview and to show pictures and/or videos of their work during the Sunday afternoon LIVE program! Nothing is offered for sale during the LIVE show. It's purely a social experience. Come by for a listen on Sunday afternoons at 12pm PST, 2:00 pm CST, or 3pm EST depending on where you are in the US! If you are an artisan I invite you to schedule a show with me! Get a chance to meet and greet the public, producing an archived show that can be repeatedly listened to by fans! If you aren't a designer its a great place to visit videos, listen to music, and unwind with some very relaxing music! The music programming is divided into segments of new age meditation music, a short program of Funk, followed by a long program of great American Classics music offered by Ed Rambeau, a broadway singer, songwriter, and entertainer who has been in show business for many years!
For more information see my link to The Jewelry Connection!


New Boutique Additions: See my new creations in Polymer! Art quality jewelry designs have recently been featured in important artisan magazines such as "Lapidary Journal" and "Art Jewelry"! Polymer is creating a fresh new mark on the timeline history of jewelry design. It is rare to find a medium within which to work jewelry designs that has never been done before. I am delighted to add this set of skills to my repertoire and hope that you enjoy viewing the new additions! Starring new work in Precious Metal Clay (Fine Silver) and Gemstones! Wire Wrapped Art Glass and gemstone Jewelry in Fine Metals!


Support Your Favorite Artisan Comment
There are a number of very talented jewelry designers represented here at Ruby Lane. I encourage you to support them. This is not about me!
Jewelry designers perform rare and wondrous works in many mediums to create one of a kind and exciting jewelry, where dreams literally are transformed into reality. The proceeds from their sales support their ability to buy tools, take classes, experiment with new ideas, and to grow. Their commitment to provide entertainment, inspiration, and beauty is a very noble endeavor. Their gifts of inspired vision stimulate enjoyment, excitement, and long term pleasure for the wearer of their efforts. What better way to augment your personal selection of jewelry accessories, than to support a local artisan and to watch that talent grow!
It's a win/win!

What Clients have to say about my work!

"I had asked Mona if she had any small-bead earrings and she immediately set to creating whole new designs for me--all of which were so original and spectacular I was compelled to purchase three pair! I gasped when Mona sent a picture of the finished work--these earrings are more than I ever hoped for. Make no mistake, this is wearable art. Thanks, Mona." -Christine Anker

"I love this wonderful set and can't wait to have one!!! I have bought several pieces from Mona and her creations and collectibles are always wonderful and bring me much joy as I wear them. Love your work, Mona."-Mary Beth

"I just received your beautiful beaded egg and I am very pleased. Thanks so much for your wonderful work. Please email me when you have any new designs."- Adrienne

"Moon Glow" is gorgeous, absolutely fabulous!The necklace fits perfectly and is just wonderful!You know of course it's more beautiful than it looks in your pictures(and it looked really beautiful in the pictures).
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to purchase your wonderful works of art!- Lorraine

The Givenchy necklaces - as I expected were great. One a bit funky and the other just plain gorgeous. But what I really love is the set that you made. You really did study the "old masters" of vintage jewelry, as you say on your store site, in making your own. The beads are of course lovely, but the chain itself and the way the beads hang on the chain is really artistry and what separates a hobbyist from a true designer. It is a beautiful set. Best, Janet

Dear Mona,
The earrings arrived and they are even more beautiful than I thought they were. I am thrilled! I can't wait for the opportunity to wear them! Thank you again for all the beautiful jewelry you have created for me and that I have purchased from you! Hugs, Lorraine

Dear Mona: Just a quick note to let you know that I received my lovely Victorian-inspired red pendant necklace and earrings. The pieces are simply stunning! They are even more exquisite than the pictures! I can't wait to wear them! My hat goes off in tribute to such a wonderful creation. Thank you again for your kind attention and I greatly look forward to purchasing again from you in the future.
Warmest regards from Florida, Ada L.

Hi Mona,

The pear brooch arrived on Saturday--just in time for Mother's Day. The timing couldn't have been better! You've probably heard this before, but the piece is even lovelier in person. The colors are richer, and the components have a dimensionality and movement that cannot be captured even by the best photos. I'm truly happy with how it came out. Thank you so much.-Nancy

Hi Mona,
The necklace and earrings arrived yesterday--and they're absolutely gorgeous!! The pear centerpiece is amaaazing. I love the rich colors, the sensual feel of the piece, the glow! Another fabulous addition to my collection of pear jewelry. Thank you! -Nancy


Dear Mona:
Just to let you know that I received my package today and everything arrived safe and sound. The bracelets are beyond beautiful - they're exquisite beyond words and far exceeded my expectations! I love how they coordinate with the necklaces and earrings that I purchased from you recently and that also they can stand alone and can be worn with the earrings themselves. What amazing colors and textures! Thank you so very much for the opportunity to complete my sets and to own such exquisite heirloom quality pieces. I look forward to our next visit! Ada

Dear Mona, I am at a loss for words and I'm happy crying again !!! The brooch and earrings are exquisite. I didn't pin the brooch to the dress, but held it up and it is perfect - color, design, everything. This is truly the most gorgeous jewelry I have ever owned and because it's for my wedding -- will ever own. I thank you with all my heart and I thank God for our "meeting" and getting to know you.
Forever hugs, Nancy (Mrs. Cady :-) )

The bracelet arrived safely today, and it is lovely. Thank you so much. It will be perfect for the special occasion for which I purchased it, as well as every other day! I couldn't bear to put it in my jewelry box - it is out on display, where I can admire it. CS 6/7/07
