Denise is an Arizona native and former school bus driver who for many years has enjoyed creating affordable jewelry from nature’s gemstones, pearls, and metals. Her extremely popular Tree of Life necklace stylings are made of tiny glittering stones wired into the form of the iconic many-branched tree associated with both religious and spiritual beliefs across many cultures from Buddhism to the Nordic cultures. The Tree of Life symbolizes enlightenment, wisdom, and knowledge. Denise also takes pride in her natural wax candles (beeswax, for example), scented with100% natural essential oils that do not pollute the indoor air, as do candles made of paraffin.
