.. ALL AMBER ERRYTHANG šŸÆ

I just found this post in my drafts from months ago and realized these rings never hit the feed, so here they are. Those of you who’ve been following me for awhile know how enamored I am with that juicy amber from Chiapas, Mexico. I’ll forever be a child of summer (mid-July birthday and a Cancer through and through šŸ¦€) and this material is sunshine encapsulated.

All of these jewels are sold but I do have another batch of amber moons on deck, so expect to see more of these in the near future. What is your favorite combo? I think I’m partial to the black onyx.. Something about that light and dark pairing is such a vibe. šŸ–¤šŸŒ™

.. Hiii yaaaall. I’ve been quietly chipping away at some overdue customs and figured I’d share a few of them here. Since it’s Pride Month, I felt it was only fitting to kick this off by sharing this absolutely magical piece of high quality rainbow labradorite that I wrapped in silver and sent into the world in the form of a bolo tie. The flash and color spectrum in this stone are multidimensional and other worldly. šŸ‘½šŸŒˆāœØ

We kept the design simple with a double V wire accent, and I’m so happy my client and I both agreed that the stone should be oriented this way. I love flipping teardrop shapes on their head, something about it hits so good haha. Swipe for more videos and a pic of the bolo on my gorgeous client (and friend!) when he wore it to a wedding recently.

Making jewels for people will always be such an honor and a joy. The energy for creation comes in such an ebb and flow for me, which used to frustrate me that it wasn’t consistent or predictable, but now I’m just trusting the process. Art be like that sometimes and you really can’t force it. Many thanks to those of you who have waited patiently for my creative surges to hit your feed. I really have such wonderful people following along here. ā¤ļøā€šŸ”„

All that being said - I’d like to announce that customs are officially OPEN. Please reach out via DM or email so we can chat about your project and get ya on the list for August/September.

”Abrazos!

.. This Saguaro variscite bolo is sold, but deserves a place on the grid. It features a stone that was one of the very first stones I bought years ago when I first started making jewelry. That rich green with black matrix and those kisses of yellow gold are unreal.. Thank you, Mother Earth. šŸ’ššŸ–¤šŸ’›

It’s funny how we sometimes bond with inanimate things. I feel like this stone is an old friend, who has seen me evolve into the jeweler I am today. It’s just been quietly watching from its place nestled in the felt lined drawers of my stone organizer, waiting for the day that I was ready to release it from my dragon’s hoard to wrap it in silver. šŸ˜…šŸ‰

We are in the THICK of holiday season now and yall, I am tired. Always trying to find the balance between the hustle and the rest, between the warm joy and the sticky, uncomfortable moments that holidays can bring up, between balancing the people, the love, and the scurry.

I am feeling tender with gratitude as my fiancĆ© works on a potato leek soup for dinner tonight and I’m updating clients with tracking numbers while sitting in front of our fireplace. It is a beautiful life indeed, despite the hard moments. Sending love to you all, wherever you are in this season.✨

.. Just wanted to mention that I’ll be sharing 20 new gems in my Instagram story sale this afternoon, ✨Sunday, December 14th at 1 pm MST✨.

This pair of black onyx crescent chain loop earrings will be among the offerings!

I will leave everything up in my stories for 24 hrs, after which I’ll pop anything left onto the site.

.. Last earring preview for the šŸ“ÆNice N Easy CollectionšŸ“Æ — Crescent Moon Chain Dangles! Didn’t realize until taking pictures that I had chosen primary colors for this batch.. bringing it back to old school color theory! ā¤ļøšŸ’›šŸ’™

Each earring is a hand sawn crescent with 6ā€ total of sterling silver rolo chain sashaying below. Lots of bits n bobs to bring these babies to life, and I just love making them. From L-R, we have some juicy garnet, glowy Mexican amber, and carved baby blue turquoise.

These earrings are super light, so they’re great for people that want to wear something other than studs or small dangles but can’t handle a lot of weight. Swipe for different lighting and videos. Apologies for the fingerprints, these will get another polish before being packed up for you all.

All 3 sets will be available on my set TODAY, October 19th at 2 pm MDT.

.. Here is the first preview for the šŸ“ÆNice N Easy CollectionšŸ“Æā€“ RINGS! As always, swipe for a video to get a better look at stones and designs.

From L-R, top to bottom:

RING—Aloe variscite & Sky Song turquoise open ring (size 5 1/2 to 6, slightly adjustable) and double beaded Royston turquoise (size 7.5)

MIDDLE—Baby blue Hubei turquoise (size 4.75), creamy Aloe round with double band (size 10) and gold matrix Hubei (size 11.75)

POINTER—Simple Aloe variscite (size 6) and green-blue Hubei turquoise (size 7)

THUMB—Black onyx (size 9) and Aloe kite (size 12)

It’s always a process for me to get into the rhythm of taking product pictures in a new space, but the new backyard at our house is doing great so far. I still miss the casita I had downtown with the peeling turquoise paint on the awning over the door.. End of an era haha.

All of these rings will be available on my site with the rest of the collection on Sunday, October 19th at 2 pm MDT!

This collection’s theme is a reminder to, as my therapist always tells me, ā€œlet things unfoldā€. I’ve really struggled with anxiety in the past few years and even though these days it’s a lot better, I can always use the nudge to keep in mind that there is joy in letting things be and come as they are, and that there is freedom in removing oneself from always trying to influence the outcome.

Life is about taking each day as it comes and making the most of it, so let’s enjoy the ride and what it gives us.

This collection theme is also a nod to my favorite Frank Sinatra song by the same title. My parents used to play his tunes a lot when we were kids, at home or on long road trips in our van down to Mexico. Highly recommend putting this song on next time you’re prepping dinner, getting ready to go out, or even putting groceries away.

First preview coming tonight and they will continue through the week. Cheers everyone, and happy Sunday!

.. Broke out some of the last pairs of Morenci II turquoise that I’ve still got left to make these hoops. These bright blue stunners have tons of shimmery pyrite flecks all throughout, it’s basically like nature’s turquoise glitter haha!

Still glowing from this weekend’s holiday market, and so happy that basically all of the new items I made got scooped up! I still have one pair of hoop earrings (the ones shown here) as well as a new Aloe Variscite chain bolo. They’re both up on the site now, if you are interested in picking up any new jewels.✨

I may have the spoons to make a little more jewelry in time for Christmas, but ya girl needs a break from the bench for a bit! I will post here if a few more pieces do come together.
