Handmade Store: Jan Everett

They say a girl can never have enough diamonds, but for me it's pearls of the freshwater variety. They are so flattering for all ages and skin types and just get better and more lustrous with wear. They can be worn for any occasion and at any time of the year, and come in so many shapes, colours and sizes.

Sometimes I create classic pieces and at other times funky modern designs , depending upon my mood and current craze. I combine pearls with unusual metal shapes, sterling silver, copper or red brass. Living by the ocean in beautiful Nova Scotia, what else could it be but pearls?
