I think we have talked about this before...sometimes I like the crudy look of metal while it is in process. It looks like an artifact. #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

Kiichiro seems bewildered in his new role as promotional giveaway manager. Ursi has trained Kiichiro well enough so that he can now resume his role as chief stone sorter. #familybusiness #catsofinstagram #contemporaryjewelry

We made a rock necklace. The rock is part of my Juneau Alaska collection. The chain is hefty oxidized sterling. And you can wear it two ways -- toggled through the rock or through the shape. #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

This week we are off to Vicksburg, MS for Hipstoric Art Festival. To celebrate, we present our newest obsession, hefty silver handmade chains secured directly to stones via holes. To do this we have to use very strong and stable stones. This one is a copper chrysocolla. #contemporaryjewelry

We updated the finishes used on our new stackers. They are now mostly oxidized with gold and brushed sides - for a tri color effect. The gilding is 24k leaf on the inside and KeumBoo (also 24k) on the outside bits. We can make them to order in your size. #contemporaryjewelry #craft #jewelry

We made some new littles. These little charm necklaces go with the small shape studs we make. These have a two tone (three-tone?) finish on them with matte black and 24k gilding. And they are adjustable! #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

New bracelet alert! And this one has a little movable piece. The circle in the center of the center circle...🧐. It shifts back and forth on the little wire. As usual, this bracelet will work with a necklace extender for more ways to wear it! #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #craft #jewelry

Labradorite ring with a rainbow moonstone. Lots of blue undertones here. We kept the one edge of the Labradorite unfinished so you have a bit of texture to play with. 😀 #labradorite #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

Sometimes we lean into synthetic materials. This ring is a chunk of highway sign paint (scroll to see it glow under UV) and a lab grown opal with a gold sparkly glass doublet top. Beauty comes in all forms! #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

Deep jewel tones of a turquoise Bridewell Stone (lab grown quartz made by @bridewell_and_bridewell of Kentucky) and a an intense Green Uvarovite Garnet Druzy. Both together - like superhero twins. ⚡ #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

My new favorite necklace. (Yes, I have favorites every once and a while 🤫). It's very simple and striking. The stone is a piece of Kabamby Jasper with a handmade sterling silver chain. ❤ #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

Jodi picked out this brand new bracelet/necklace combo during her private shopping meet up. She came armed with screenshots from our website but when she saw this piece you could tell it was love. She won't wear it as a bracelet so I went ahead and permanently attached the chain. #craft #jewelry

As we prepare for our fall shows we just completed a bunch of new rings. The first is a Rainbow Meteor Shower Sunstone and the second is a Chalcopyrite Druzy. Both paired with warm Biwa Pearls. Both on the website! 🤓 #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

All of these are made with little leftover bits from my scrap pile. With costs so high it is important to use every bit. They are loads of fun to make. #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #asymmetricaljewelry #art #craft #jewelry

I did this thing where I made this ring look like the surface of a golden moon. It is now at @highglosshouston. A Golden Moon is a moon that takes on a golden color when it is close to the horizon because light must travel through a thicker layer of Earth's atmosphere. #art #craft #jewelry

I am playing around with some stackable rings. I will need to make them in sets by the size - assorted shapes and finishes. So before I start this endeavor...do you like them? What size should I make? How pointy should they be? #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #art #craft #jewelry

Finished & delivered this special order to a wonderful collector. Her husband gifted her a green garnet and imagined it could turn into a pendant to match her earrings. The shape is loose so you can wear it in different configurations. #contemporaryjewelry #handmadejewelry #art #craft #jewelry

This custom ring is a riff on another ring someone tried on at a show and wanted it with a shorter/smaller stone combo. Because we cut these stones ourselves in-house, this was something we could do. Its not a copy of the first - just a riff. An absolutely unique piece of work! #art #craft #jewelry

We were gifted some vacuum packing kitchen supplies - in both can and baggie form. Vacuum sealing our epoxy to prevent drying is the perfect use. Don't ask about the pliers. #artlife
