I design eclectic jewelry combining gemstone beads with treasures that I have collected over the years from other cultures. I use antique beads from Nepal, and vintage pieces from Africa, Middle East and Silk Road as well as crystals, pearls and shells. The highest quality components and findings are used by Claudia Hunt Putnam including sterling silver and 14k gold filled wire. No two pieces are alike and my designs and techniques are constantly evolving.
