Shout out to for making me a custom rig to go with their Ti-Quad stand! 🤩 Chris listened to what I needed and troubleshot(troubleshooted? 🤔) all my concerns and I am very happy with the result 😁

This is going to make soldering my orchids so much easier! I'm all set to make silver, gold, and platinum orchids now

Highly recommend their tools ❤️

Sterling silver necklace made using the Full Persian weave. Also known as the Foxtail, a name that aptly describes the weave's appearance. It consists of jump rings hand woven into a dense and intricate pattern.

Pair this chain with your favorite pendant or wear it by itself. It's great for everyday wear or on an evening out.

This necklace is made with 24*gauge wire. I open, interlink, and close all the rings by hand. There are approximately 800 links in this piece alone.

It's finished with a dainty lobster clasp.

* A wires gauge is the diameter of the wire. The higher the number of the gauge, the thinner the wire.

🌸 Orchid Stud Earrings 🌸

Tiny hand fabricated sterling silver orchid stud earrings.

These earrings were made by hand sawing out 3 separate layers of petals from a sheet of sterling silver. The petals were then shaped and formed before being soldered together.

A post was soldered to each and they come with heavy weight friction backs for added security.

Each earring is just over a quarter of an inch, or 7.5mm, tall.

● A frosted finish can be added at no extra charge. ●

🏹🌜🌊 Artemis Earrings w/ Moonstone Drops 🌊🌜🏹

Sterling silver orchid earrings with moonstone drops hanging from a delicate silver chain.

Artemis, Goddess of the hunt and wild animals, was also associated heavily with the moon and water. Artemis supervised waters and lush wild growth, attended by nymphs of wells and springs, and was closely associated with Poseidon God of the Sea

These earrings were made by hand sawing out 3 separate layers of petals from a sheet of sterling silver. The petals were then shaped and formed before being soldered together. A dainty silver chain with a moonstone dangle hangs from the bottom petals.

A post was soldered to each and they come with heavy weight friction backs for added security.

Each orchid is 12mm tall, with the chain and moonstone dangle adding a further 25mm.

● A frosted finish can be added at no extra charge. ●

My cat Amber just passed away unexpectedly this evening due to a heart condition we were unaware of.

She was the best cat and I am heartbroken.

Thank you for your understanding.

♦️Orchid Collection Update!♦️

Some bad news, guys. My main tool, the flex shaft - a staple for every jeweler, has broken 😫😭

I'm working hard on getting pieces finished, but this throws a rather large wrench in my production schedule. I will be releasing the Collection soon, but stock will be more limited than I anticipated.

My new flex shaft is ordered and should arrive mid-week. I will drop more stock once it arrives and can get back to full production mode.

This won't affect the giveaway, and I'll still be drawing the winner on Wednesday as planned.

Thank you for your patience ❤️
