First floral teardrop of 2025 is complete! February wasn’t as productive as I would’ve liked because of how cold my workbench area was, but now I am good to get my butt in gear creating inventory for show & gallery season.
✨Brown Zircon & Amazonite in sterling silver.
Can’t believe these spessartite garnet earrings are still in the shop-originally I was working on a cuff bracelet that started out from a melted silver Ingot, but as I was pulling it through the rolling mill it snapped in two! I was upset at the time, but ended up turning the broken bracelet into a pair of earrings!

Took on a last minute ring for a client for some last minute money. Sometimes I feel really hypocritical because I’ll close my custom orders and then can’t resist when I look at my calendar and see my car insurance is due soon. 😅
It’s February in western NY, we’re all pretty unmotivated from the lack of sunlight and fresh air, so here’s one of my designs that I make often: Birch bark under glass with white Topaz. 💌 more often I’ll use a wider figaro chain, but this is what I had on hand at the time.

The branches adorned with brown Zircon gems, and more gold-filled accents than the last. The metals used are 925 sterling silver, 14K gold-filled, and 14K gold solder to colormatch. A labor of love, I‘m excited to meet the person who decides to bring home this timeless beauty.
Custom piece featuring an English Setter, ruffed grouse feathers, and two Garnets is complete! It’s also my first time creating a piece of jewelry featuring someone’s dog. This was such a fun one.
