Variquoise, True love heart. This is a mix of Turquoise and Variscite, hence "Variquoise, and cut by @cactusyogi. The heart comes from a mine in Snowville Utah. This mine is now closed, but this stone is so special. I fell in love the moment I laid eyes on her. Set with 2 lovely Almandine Garnets. This is hanging on a 3.3 mm rolo chain, and the entire piece is sterling silver. Made with love in my studio. All components are handmade using stamping, sawing, soldering. As always one of a kind. Tell me what you think about it below in the comments. #trueloveheart

Many hours went into this dangly. The top stone is a silvery Sapphire, and the bottom stones are high grade, Labradorite and Rainbow moonstone. All the components are made by hand, by me in my studio. I love how this one moves, it feels great to wear. All Sterling silver.

A Royal Dendritic heart, with a matt finish, surrounded by a botanical bounty, of Roses, forget me not flowers and branches, with a little pine cone dangle. This stone was cut in Denmark and has fossilized plants, it’s extraordinary. This is by far the biggest piece I have ever attempted to make and it was beyond challenging for me. This is a major work of art, all sterling silver, and always one of a kind. Coming in at 97mm long. All sterling silver. This has a very substantial sterling chain, attached by two branch rings. I am very happy with how this one turned out. Many hours of work.

Started working on this one yesterday, I just finished. A stunning Chrysocolla and Malachite heart, topped by a London Blue Topaz. I come from a glass sculpting background and the dangle is one of my handmade glass beads. I have a few left from my glass sculpting days, and this was too perfect in color to not use. I love it. Surrounded by leaves and branches. All hand made in recycled Sterling silver. Lots of steps and sawing and soldering and polishing in this one. Hope you enjoy. #chrysocollaheart #chrysocollamalachite ♥️

Make sure to insure everything

I always use insurance when shipping my jewelry to their new homes. So glad I do, as this beautiful piece went missing in the mail, never to been seen again. It never even made it out of the Oakland distribution center, heartbreaking. Fortunately the insurance covered it all, and the customer ordered another piece. I still wonder where it ended up.

Dendritic opal Necklace

This lovely stone looks like a forest canopy. All hand made by me in sterling silver.. At the bottom a pretty blue labradorite. She is on her way to her new home in Barcelona, a gift for someones mother. I love it when sons buy my art for their mothers. When we were selecting a piece, I asked what type of jewelry his mother wears, in his lovely spanish accent, he responds with…..” she wears anything I give her”. Thought that was so sweet.
