Spring in Turquoise Yellow Jade

January 16, 2010
This set is an early peek at the Spring line…….American mined Turquoise in really great shades of blue that has just a bit of rough in places, then mixed in a few Citrine chips and stunning faceted yellow Jade stones that all come together with the teal Brazilian Agate slice; also accented in non-tarnish brass wire.

This and many other custom crafted jewelry pieces are available for purchase on the website.

Best Year in Wired

December 22, 2009

Wired designs are very fun, they give me the ability to really create and highlight the stones I’m working with. Designs are accented with either links, wire wrapping, or pendants that have been wired with different bail techniques. So, after deliberating long and hard on this one, here’s this year’s best in wired designs from our collection.

Some of the Years Best In Fossils

December 19, 2009
With the Holidays near, we will be spending time with friends and family, getting re-energized, re-focused and re-generated for next year! But until then as always, we’ll recap some of our favorites from the past year’s collection….though I’d like to say that everything is a favorite, some are more than others!
I got the opportunity to challenge myself more in the area of wire working; these fossils and agates are some of my favorites…..
