My design philosophy is to create pieces that beautifully balance simplicity and femininity with a modern aesthetic. I create each design with a unique combination of colors, textures and metals while at the same time retaining simplicity. |

The beginnings of a shop update
Well, haven’t I been quiet?! I’ve been keeping up with orders and working on some custom designs. And, feeling pretty yucky physically, so my energy has been low and blogging sounded too hard. Plus, when you hurt, it’s hard to sound happy and upbeat. Not to worry – I have a Dr’s appointment on Monday [...]
Custom Rings

The stones are (clockwise from the top): Green Sea Glass, Arizona Turquoise, Aqua Chalcedony, Smoky Quartz
Bezels all done [...]

Bummer on the Bench
I’ve been busy with production work and haven’t had much time for new designs, but I had this sweet little Watermelon Tourmaline slice that I was dying to set, make a necklace out of and list today. I guess I got too excited….I broke the stone while I was setting it and I’m still sad [...]
Personalized Sterling Silver Money Clips
Father’s Day and wedding season has put money clip making in full swing! I finally got some stamps so I can add initials to items to personalize. I love initials on men’s accessories. It makes it feel like an heirloom.
Working with Gold
I’ve started playing with some recycled 14K gold. Playing with gold probably isn’t that smart – it’s so fricking expensive. But, so far, so good. I’ll be setting a Lemon Quartz and Rutilated Quartz in my favorite cushion checkerboard cut in the next day or so! Can’t wait to show the final product…in the meantime [...]
Refining, refining
I have some new goodies to share with you today! The top left Disc Ring and Onyx Earrings are already in the shop. The rest I will post later in the week.
I had been without a camera for a few weeks and I finally am back in business with a brand new one. It got [...]

New stone setting projects
Ooooo…here are a few fun stones. I’ve been working on a few of them already. The big pink one is actually an Opal from Greece. I got it from a guy who got it from THE guy who found it and cut it in Greece. You will be surprised when you see what I’m doing [...]
