It’s a good day when five little packages leave the shop.

5 rings.
5 stories.
5 people who trusted me to make something meaningful with my hands.

That part still blows me away a little.

Some are gifts.
For oneself, or for a special someone.

But all of them started here, covered in dust, patience, trial and error, and a whole lot of care.

Thank you for keeping small handmade work alive. 🤍

Concept 2 Creation. "Can you do a meteorite ring?"
Apparently yes! ☄️

This took significantly longer than I thought it would. But this second iteration *Chef's Kiss*
I've got some better tools on the way to be able to cut pieces off my block of amunio-lomuno-tite
*enter anananeme continuation* 🪸🐠
(properly refered to as Muonionalusta Meteorite)
Thanks Cagney Collins

What should I call it?
Kuiper Belt,
Asteroid Field,
Event Horizon,
Lunar Debris
Apollo/ Artemis,
Floating Rocks in Space... a little too on the nose?

🗣 Name it, look at it 👀🙄
Let me know what you think🤔
This was quite the process and I really don't know if I want to have it on my shop yet.. But here's a cheeky peak 🏔

Concept 2 creation story.

It’s here.

Purple & Gold Veinstone.

A collaboration piece between artisans and the start of what feels like a really exciting relationship. We spent days talking back and forth ~ hardness levels, machining behaviour, expectations, cooling, polishing, use cases… all the little intricacies that go into turning an idea into something wearable.

A client wanted that deep purple stone look and was willing to pay a little extra to help cover the R&D side of things. First attempt went surprisingly smooth… just long.

This last week has been brutal behind the scenes. I’ve nearly burned through an entire block.😭 The Red & Gold Veinstone is breaking my heart. Light cuts. Cooling passes. Minimal pressure. Long breaks between shaping.

Still broke 7 attempts.

Hopefully no more counting now I mean it.
Anybody want a peanut? Iykyk

But for cereals, I’m extremely proud of this ring.

Purple & Gold Veinstone on a violet ceramic core. The only one of its kind… so far.

The client wanted tungsten... But I needed practice and this just so happens to be Angela’s size.

Ah well.
Guess she has a new ring now. Hope she won't be mad 😬😅

Soulbound.

Inspired by the old story that humans were once whole — powerful beings split apart and left searching for reunion.

White TruStone with bright gold matrix on a white ceramic core.

Reminiscent of Greek luxury:
marble, ivory, gold.

Clean, classical, and quietly symbolic.

What a great day in the studio. 😊

Another ring safely made it into the hands of its new owner and another 5★ review came in today. Hearing that someone loves a piece I made by hand never really gets old.

Also had a really promising conversation with a new composite supplier today, which opens the door to some wild future designs I’ve been dreaming about.

And on top of that… we’ve officially matched last month’s sales already.

Still a small shop. Still learning every day. But it finally feels like the snowball is starting to roll.

Thank you to everyone supporting, sharing, commenting, ordering, and believing in this little studio. Seriously. It means more than you know. 🖤

I don’t make pens often… mostly because every time I finish one, I end up wanting to keep it. 😅

It's a differenr story turning a pen compared to a ring.
You feel the shape in your hand the entire time you’re creating it — watching the material slowly reveal its patterns, depth, and personality with every pass on the lathe.

These three all came out completely different from each other:
• A bright turquoise pour with that golden grain movement
• A bold green and purple swirl that has that tiger eye shimmer. *it's the..*👨‍🎤👁🐯🐯🐅
• A softer sage and copper mix with a more earthy, vintage feel
Each one is one-of-one. No duplicates. No exact recreations.

Part of me wants to line them up on my desk and pretend I made them “for display purposes only.” 😂

Which one would you pick?

Sodalite trustone on a 10mm tungsten core.
Headed out to California.
Looks like wisps of clouds on a deep blue day…
like the climate has healed.
Not every piece comes out like this one.
What do you see?

As promissed the 8mm Fire And Ash.
As always it's wood. No two pieces will ever be exactly alike.

I know sometimes it's a real shame. This ones a gem.
