Sourcing, Creating and Sharing Designs in Jade. Created by Ryan Spangler in Santa Barbara, California.

Just got back home from an epic camping trip searching for jade. We found beautiful stone and had a ton of good laughs along the way. My brother and I rearranged the pain cave with a monster 500 pound + stone we moved in three pieces over a mile. Grandpa joined us and was excited to watch as we danced, hopped, and slipped across the boulders, as he has done for 30 years.
We are forever grateful for the opportunity to have this relationship with each other, the stone, the rivers, and the forests. Being able to bring this stone from its resting place and share it with you is an immense honor we don’t take lightly.
Jade in California is very limited and to find it is rare. We will continue to do our part in being steward of the forest and rivers. Making sure we leave minimal impact to the creatures, plants, and water we surround ourselves with.
I want to thank all of you who support what I do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Bamboo and black jade, a timeless duo. I love adding my own spin to this ancient combination.

I had a commission in the queue for a bangle of this material, so I went ahead with it. It came out so beautiful with such depth of color that once it had been sent off, I was inspired to cut another one!

That second one is pictured here in the first two photos, followed by a Big Sur Jade Bangle and another Guatemalan Blue Bangle, both with stunning features flowing through them.

All bracelets (beaded ones too!) are now posted on my website, linked on my page. Or DM me for more photos, questions and pricing.

One of the last commissions of the year. Family collection all from a stone my grandfather and I found in 2015. This stone is excellent quality with nice bright green sections.

Fresh off the bench & headed to tomorrow!

During warm summer nights on my grandfather’s jade claim, hundreds of dragonflies buzz overhead. Many different sizes and colors float effortlessly through the air in a choreographed dance. If you’re lucky, one may land close enough to admire.

Whenever I see a dragonfly I think of the times on the river looking for jade with no worries in the world. Floating through the stream in our own choreographed dance with nature.
