About
I'm Donna Bishop, welcome to my site! I love crystal gemstones and pretty rocks of all kinds. The natural beauty of crystal gemstones has inspired me to create beautiful wire wrapped jewelry. You'll notice through my designs that I take care to showcase the beauty of the crystals, which influenced me to create my tagline, Where the Stone is the Star! I prefer simple designs that enhance, rather than detract from the beauty of the stone.
My crystal gemstone journey began when I enrolled in a crystal healing course several years ago and became intrigued, not only by the healing properties of the stones, but at the amazing beauty of the crystals that the Earth makes! I have included some of the metaphysical properties of the crystals in the pendant descriptions for those of you who are interested.
Having been a lifelong artist, experimenting with different techniques and mediums, led me to a natural progression of creating jewelry to display the beauty of the stones. I've been wire wrapping jewelry for over 5 years and always look for new techniques to try.
I purchase most of my crystals in person at gem and jewelry shows in the DFW area, where I hand select the most stunning cabochons I can find. I also seek out rock and crystal shops wherever I happen to be in my travels. My husband,Scott, shares my love of stones and some of the stones in our collection have been personally rock hounded by us. He also does lapidary work to create some of the cabochons used in my jewelry and is beginning to teach me. This allows me to offer more unusual crystals and uncommon stones from different regions.
Other interests of mine include gardening and growing organic food, cooking, rockĀ hounding, yoga, and attempting to meditate.
