Cityscape


Cityscape is a hip and urban pendant with a jasper cabochon full of such interesting designs and colors!  Now in the Etsy store.

Daydreamer... now in the Etsy shop


Daydreamer is a large and chunky sterling silver ring created with a very colorful turquoise cabochon.  This is a fun and bold ring.


I hope everyone is having a good Monday.. I'll be busy all week and also cutting stone tomorrow morning for new pieces.

Lavender Sky and Rustic Turquoise just added to the store

I listed another two items today in the store.

Rustic Turquoise is a ring made with a soft robin-egg blue turquoise cabochon.  The ring has a rustic or "wear with jeans" look to it.  It's a chunky ring too.

I also listed Lavender Sky - a sterling silver pendant created with an Amethyst Sage cabochon.  The cabochon has some striking jet black dendrites running across the cabochon.


More to come.. please check back. :)

A couple of new pieces and I've added gift certificates to the shop


I added a couple more items to the shop today, as well as gift certificates in the amounts of $25-$100.  I do have more pieces here to photograph tomorrow morning.  I have to get to the post office before they close, so those new pieces will be up in the morning/early afternoon.

Lake Country


I just listed "Lake Country" in my Etsy store.  This is such an interesting piece.  I can't state enough how beautiful the sterling silver looks against this white and black stone.  The white just brings out all the different shades of silver.

The piece is based on the Northern Loon and the white, black, silver and red garnet worked perfect for this theme.

It's a nice large pendant measuring approximately 2" across and 1-3/4" tall.

I'm putting a limit on the stackables I create each week...

The store is empty again, but yet I've been working around the clock on stackables.  I love making the rings, but I really enjoy creating jewelry with the stones that I cut.  I'm going to have to put a limit on the amount of stackables I make or, at the rate things are going, I'm never going to get other jewelry items created and listed.

I'm finishing up 5 more stackables today and then working on finishing up the pieces I started over the weekend.


I also - FINALLY - ran across some Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper!  WOO HOO!!  I've had several customers ask me if I had more of this stone and I did not.  This rock is right up there with gold.. very, very... VERY expensive.  Well I am happy to say that I have 4 decent slabs of this stone.  I hope to get some cut over the next several days.  For those that don't know what Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper is, I used it in this piece above.  It's from Morgan Hill, California.  I'm happy I was finally able to get my hands on some.
