Transplant Gift Set Polished Kidney Pendant and Keyring

Having worked in photography, printmaking, painting, dollmaking, quilting, ceramics and lampworking  glass beads, I finally found my creative home in jewelry making. While working with beads and jewelry design full time since 1991, I’ve managed to combine that passion with my experience as a kidney patient.

Since losing my own kidney function, my heroic living donor gave me not only the Gift of Life but also the true meaning of giving. The words Precious Kidney ring in my heart daily.  She inspired me to create this line of special jewelry.
