What began as a hobby has become an obsession.  I enjoy creating jewelry and unusual items with semi-precious gemstones.  Gwynstone Originals is jewelry designed with nature in mind.

My "shellman" logo was collected in Edisto Beach, South Carolina - it is not changed at all by computer enhancement. It came out of the ocean with this goofy smile and barnacle eyes.  A true gift from nature.

From key chains to cell phone charms -- I think everyone enjoys a bit of sparkle or a gemstone to wear.  Gemstones feel cool to the touch and to many offer a feeling of special power or strength. These are some of my favorites to work with:

Fancy jasper is believed to be a stone of cheerfulness and good fortune.   

I want to offer my items at reasonable prices that cover my costs.  No use for them to sit around my house and gather dust - I can't wear them all myself ( I have been trying some on to make sure each necklace and bracelet is comfortable to wear!).

I am commonly asked to do custom work, so I never mind request to lengthen, shorten, or produce an item in school or favotire colors, or work with a special gemstone.

I have a  large selection of gemstones, so if you have a favorite I can design and send you an image.
