Anita Elaine Peters

Artist Statement

Since childhood, I have always admired the miracles of nature. God has gifted us with materials that bring us color, texture, light, and healing. The stones speak to me in their own ways and make it possible for me to create beautiful designs.  I feel truly blessed to have this ability. Creating jewelry allows me to explore the attributes of natural’s elements by combining shape, color, and texture in unexpected ways. My greatest skill is the ability to create a piece of jewelry that will reflect a woman’s true character and personality.  My bold designs have all the qualities of style, elegance and sophistication.  It is my passion and honor to be a part of this process.
