Utilizing the natural healing properties inherent in certain gemstones, Liz creates jewelry with a simple, yet elegant style.

Dress like a star!  Some of Liz's bracelets (like these) were given away to celebrities at the 2013 Oscars!

From her etsy profile:

"I have a degree in Psychology and I also have a background in the healthcare field. I've been designing jewelry for years and I'm an alumna of GIA- the Gemology Institute of America. I try and live a holistic lifestyle and strongly believe in alternative medicine to maintain my health and well-being. I absolutely love natural gemstones, and as I learned about their healing properties, such as vibrational and electromagnetic healing, I was inspired to create a line of energy, balance, and Chakra jewelry.

Unisex necklace made with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and a black agate horn pendant.

Designing and handcrafting my energy and Chakra jewelry is a sheer joy, knowing I am creating something beautiful with my hands for someone to wear. It is my hope that each piece of carefully handcrafted jewelry will provide energy and balance to someone, somewhere."

Aquamarine and freshwater pearl necklace made by Tamiza.

Tamiza uses semi-precious stones and glass materials to create fun and colorful jewelry suitable for any occasion!














From her etsy profile: 

"I have a lot of fun coming up with my designs and figuring out how to best use my materials - beautiful natural materials in addition to fabulous glass beads (they're all so pretty!). I use a lot of natural and handcrafted materials that are unique unto themselves which means that almost every jewelry piece is also unique...

This bracelet has the Chinese symbols for peace and happiness. 

My hands are prone to cramping which means I have a problem with closing jewelry clasps. So, I do not use any clasps on my jewelry pieces - everything is easy to take on and off! All necklaces fit over your head, and all bracelets are stretchy."



This statement necklace is so pretty!
