There is something intrinsically appealing to many of us about
the rounded contours of a beach stone worn smooth by the action
of ocean waves over time. We have been drawn to picking them
up from beaches ever since we were children. The southern coast of
Maine has some wonderful beaches covered with these stones.
Since the debut of her first Beach Stone Pendants in 1993, jewelry
using these stones has become an important part of Elizabeth's line.
Design elements are purposely kept to a minimum in these pieces
in an attempt to honor the stones for their own inherent simplicity
and beauty.
The original Maine Beach Stone Pendant has won the following design
awards:
- Best in Design, League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's Annual Exhibit, 1993.
- Modern Category Award, Accent 8th Annual Silver Design Competition, 1994.
