meet the artisan

Many years ago I discovered a lasting passion in jewelry design. I love to create pieces that echo the past, reflect my love of nature, and infuse a bit of magic into the lives of those who wear it.

I started by making jewelry for myself, but when people started asking if I sold my pieces, what began as a hobby quickly grew into a business, and Ophelia's Adornments was established in 2009. It's been a wonderful journey which has allowed me to connect with kindred spirits from around the world. I use only high quality components and craft my jewelry with great care so that it will bring you a lifetime of enjoyment.

A native New Englander, I live in a small village in beautiful Henniker, New Hampshire, USA. The mountains, rivers, lakes and wildlife that surround me inspire my creativity.

I have two grown children who are the lights of my life and support me and my business in so many ways. You may find them helping me at some of the local markets I attend.

Thank you for your interest in my work, and supporting the handmade community! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or special requests.
