Wow!

I stumbled upon this blog, "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" & was immensely surprised to find my purple 'Seeing Spots' rings featured!
Very exciting! Thank-you so much, Kelsi!

Just Saying...

Some days it's ok to be completely unproductively LAAAZY...
Because I've been too hard on myself, trying to do too much & not stopping to enjoy each moment. So I'm off to revel in my puppy shredding up cardboard boxes & flinging toys everywhere :)

I'm really excited by all the activity in my shop. November has been my best month so far & hopefully December will be even better! Thanks for stopping by :)

Rings Galore

My, my, I'm still on a ring kick!
Here's a gorgeous golden rutilated quartz that I set very simply. The stone itself is statement enough.
"Sunstruck" ring is size 7 & available in my Etsy shop.


This next ring gave me quite alot of trouble. It's a straightforward design that I've done before, but for some reason last night, the square frame would not maintain contact with the band while I soldered. I had the bezel cup already soldered to the band & the frame was the last step. I finally tied the pieces together w/binding wire & clamped them with my third hand (a stand w/tweezers). It worked, but the clamp squashed the bezel cup all out of shape. Another should've-been-five-minute-step that became a 2hr long torture test!


I'm very happy with how it turned out. "Ocean View" features a glowing blue chalcedony, textured frame & my signature forged silver dots recycled from sterling scrap. It'll be in in my shop in the next day or too. It's a size 7.75.

And here's a purple version of my popular "Seeing Spots" ring, featuring lavender chalcedony highlighted w/a 4mm iolite. Size 7.5.

Check back frequently as I plan to bring lots more new pieces to my shop!

November's Ugly Hand Picture

I had to make a ring to match the 'Picture Window' studs:



It's a size 5.5 & available in my Etsy shop:

New Earrings

A quickie post, as I gear up my shop for the Christmas rush...

These "Picture Window" earrings are tiny, about .5"L. They're super light-weight & versatile. Plenty of fire & flash in these rainbow moonstones! And the same studs below, but in a gorgeous Swiss blue topaz:

They'll be hitting my shop this evening or tomorrow. Depends how well I feel. I've been sick all week & it comes and goes. One moment I'm full of energy & can churn out several pieces of jewelry, and the next I'm out for the count for 4hrs, feeling like I've been hit by a truck full of squawking chickens...
