Gorgeous Stones, How is such beauty possible?

New work in the Etsy Shop today.

I'm continuously amazed and fascinated by the variety and natural beauty of stones 

that we dig up from our great Earth.

My love of organic beauty has carried me forward into my artist muse of choice, 

metalwork that incorporates treasures from the deep.

Enjoy a few pieces of new work, 

as I try to emulate the radiance of the stones in sterling silver.

Thanks for stopping by ;o)

All work can be found in the Etsy Shop

Of Hemoglobin, and some new Eye Candy....

Hot off the bench this week!

I'm calling this one my Hemoglobin Necklace.

For any Dexter fans out there, this sort of reminds me of his blood slides!

Probably the most incredible cabochon I've had in my possession.

Pigeons Blood Agate.  I am trying desperately to acquire more of this same quality!

The back is cut out because it is just as beautiful, and also because from the front this cabochon looks even more beautiful with flesh tone instead of a silver backing showing through.

Gorgeous Maury Moss Agate, in Autumn colors!

Autumn leaf pierced out of the back to reveal the gorgeous red moss, and just to play with absentmindedly while you wear it!

My signature Hammerhead Cocktail Ring, this time in Piranha Agate.

Some great little silver caviar accents on the back.

Size 6.5.

Beautifully dreamy Obsidian, revealing a silvery blueish Lunar Eclipse.

Some great silver accent balls on the back.

Size 6.25.

Sterling and 24k Gold Keum-Boo Stud Earrings.

Sized approx .30" round, and perfect for everyday wear!

All available in the Etsy Shop!

I hope that everyone has an absolutely delightful Halloween this year, filled with plenty of friends, family, candy, and good scares ;o)

some new work...and off into the wilderness for the holiday weekend...

Finally have some new work posted in the Etsy Shop.

Just a few small things that I've been working on, hoping to add some variety to my repitoire as well as some more affordable price points.

In a few hours we are off into the wilderness of Georgia, on a lake, camping, and having a wonderful holiday weekend with friends.  

Here's to some wonderful grilling/marshmellow/campfire tunes/lake time/spider-free weekend!

All available now in the Etsy Shop!

aromatherapy scent locket...revamped...

I decided to switch up the chain on my Aromatherapy Scent Locket, and use a oxidized sterling silver plated chunky chain instead of the vintage brass chain I had used previously.  The look of oxidized silver is one of my favorite things, and I feel really compliments the gorgeous tones of the copper.

Now, in the Etsy Shop

priced to kill...

Greatly reduced price on this bad gorgeous hunk o' stone necklace!

Down 25%!!!

Great deal, simply based on the quality of the stone and the current price of silver.

The reason for the price drop from the original intended price point, is due to a small, but visible, flaw in the bezel setting. I made an error when I was setting the stone, and it caused a tiny bubble in the bezel near the bottom left of the pendant. You can see it clearly in the 1st and 2nd photographs. Due to the bubble, the stone has a slight movement within the setting if you try to push it around with your finger. Despite this, the stone is set very securely, and will never fall out. Unless looked at closely, the bubble in the bezel is not highly visible. I thought about keeping this necklace for myself, but thought that the beauty of the stone and the simplicity of the setting would call to some lovely soul out there, and that they might appreciate an affordable price due to the small defect ;o)

Now up for grabs in the Etsy Shop

Beauty Is On The Inside...

Recently I read an incredible book, called Swan Song. It is a post-apocalyptic thriller, and throughout the book was a fight for good vs. evil to claim the earth. Those that had good in their hearts, were horrendously deformed by the radiation for many years. Near the end of the book (spoiler alert!), the ugly masks broke apart to reveal their true beauty underneath. I don't want to give anything more away, but just wanted to share how deeply I was moved by the concept of the book, and the way it reminded me that true beauty, does indeed lie on the inside.

I created this ring as a daily reminder, to help keep me humble, and to throw vanity out the window.

This sterling silver band has beautiful and intricate scroll work on the inside, and a rough battered exterior. Most would wear the beautiful design on the outside, but in this case, it will be a reminder to those that desire it, to let your inner beauty shine.

MADE TO ORDER in your size ;o)
