Victoria Greenhood Designs

Victoria travels all over the world to collect gems for her jewelry – including India, New York, and New Mexico. She loves finding unique stones wherever possible, and is as likely to buy them in an antique store as she is at a jewelry trade show. Victoria will often create a series of jewelry based on her latest find, and so, consequently, many of the pieces cannot be duplicated.
