Wild Poppy Designs....

Wild Poppy Designs....from sterling, fine silver, 14K gold fill wire you will find designs that will delight and surprise you....

I began designing jewelry in sterling silver and 14K gold fill wire about 12 years ago, and made pendants, rings, pins, bracelets and earrings with faceted and cabachon stones, working with natural stones to create mountings that highlighted the best features and maybe hide a bit, some not so best features of a stone.

Working with wire has been wonderful, it is a very portable art, going with me to various shows and allowing me to do special orders while customers watched and waited. I never understood why a case could be filled with jewels, yet the pieces i just completed were always the first sold!

Within this site I would like to present my designs... and assure you that each piece is truly one of a kind, as dictated by the stone, or wire, or even what kind of day i am having, so the actual pieces may vary slightly from photos... but I promise, all chocolate stains will be cleaned off your piece.... you will also notice I am using capital letters...my mommy made me....

******new**** i have started making up kits for various projects, that will include all you need to complete the design. I am also thinking of publishing the book of patterns via computer disk, like we do the missing child stories. let me know what you think...

To order, please contact me by email, or call 510-724-4867 and remember, each piece is either one of a kind, or made up just for you....and since each piece is made to order, I guess they are all one of a kind!


Thank you so much for your interest. I had to add the pictures of our Rhodesian Ridgeback Karat, who came from the kennels of Fire Mountain Gems, Oregon, on of PC's pups, now 5 years old, to our cat assortment.... and from the feedback I have had, the cats are stealing the show! They must know, they are walking around like they rule the roost, wait, they did that before too, never mind.....


The information on my "other" passion, writing education and prevention material on missing child issues...to date there are 11 books, 2 interactive plays and 2 parent guides....and work with law enforcement, schools and parents.....is now up and running! Don't groan, it is a subject that must be addressed, but it is presented in a humor and non-threatening manner, and is truly targeted for family time.

Teaching our children to be confident and not fearful is of the upmost importance... kids need to know the facts, but don't need to be afraid to leave their rooms.
