The Freedom Collection was borne during a personally challenging time in the fall/winter 2016, when someone was determined to try and undermine my self-worth with bullying, insults, and hardest of all, the withholding of unconditional love.  Bold shapes and mixed metals, using torch and hammer, all with a single silver bead connecting past to present coming full circle.  Endings and beginnings.  To me this collection represents empowerment, self-worth, courage, integrity, boldness, loss and love.  Wearing Freedom reminds me that I am exactly who I am supposed to be.  Putting them on is like putting on an ancient talisman or amulet.  They remind me that I am lovable, I am enough.  You are, too.  Be bold, be free.
