Welcome to my Studio

Black Fox Ranch sits on the high plains just north of Cheyenne, Wyoming, a city rich in western heritage. My jewelry studio is housed in a small, quiet, comfortable workroom that faces southeast overlooking my favorite horse pasture. In the morning my view takes in colorful sunrises and at night the lights of Cheyenne.

I have been collecting historic antique trade beads for years and am fascinated with their beautiful vivid color and rich cultural history. I create original antique trade bead jewelry that is not only eye catching and artistic, but are also great conversation pieces. I have respectfully chosen to combine historic and meaningful antique trade beads together with silver, turquoise, lapis, coral and various other semi precious stones from around the world.

I hope you will enjoy and appreciate these very special antique trade beads and all the beauty, charm, and history that characterize them.
