My name's Raelene. Let me introduce myself.

I have been making jewelry for quite some time, but my love of rocks, crystals, minerals, and jewelry has been a lifetime pleasure. I moved from mud pies to river rocks to tumbled stones to cabochons and crystals and this lighted the fire for Gemergence. I wanted to wear those beauties and I loved they way the stones or crystals made me feel when they were close by.

I started to look for ways to create some jewelry. My first pieces still make me giggle. Then, I began to study everything about jewelry making that came my way and kept practicing with different mediums. I truly enjoy the wire wrapping that you will find on many of my pieces. I want the gemstone or cabochon to shine through and wire work let's me do that. I also studied the metaphysical properties of gemstones and naturally I wanted one of each crystal or gemstone for my own. That began the gathering stage.

I have been "gathering" these stones and crystals from all over the globe for several years. Pretty soon I had a lot of nice pieces and my family convinced me to start selling them so I could spend more time doing what I truly love, making them. Alas, Gemergence emerged.

Each jewelry piece design is directed by the stone or crystal's energy that I sense and also by the energy of the person "out there" that it will belong to. I never quite know what I'm going to produce until it's done. And each piece is unique in this way. I can reproduce only to a point and then the piece itself seems to take over.

My wonderful husband, Mike, is a great support in my small business. He is the photographer, amongst other roles. We often show the pieces at events and I couldn't do it without him (certainly wouldn't want to). What's most important to us is customer satisfaction. We like to keep the prices affordable and the quality high.

There's a piece of jewelry for you here somewhere...let it find you.
