New Studio!

Busy week setting up my new studio! Almost done...here's some pics. Beyond thrilled to have Chawna's help with production. Friends for 15 years, now she will be helping me with my work while also embarking on her on jewelry journey! xo

New Work!

Working on a few new simple and sexy designs... Just added all of these to my Etsy shop. Been busy with store orders and getting ready for the Artist Market on Saturday. Already figuring out my holiday show and production schedule - crazy! 

Adding a little verdigris to the Sweet Lady Earrings!

These giant rectangle earrings are my new favorite to wear.

And if I'm not wearing those I'm wearing my new HUGE forged sterling hoops.

Making the hoops got me to make a big riveted circle pendant.

Special request - gold and sterling ladder necklace. So excited to have a request for this, been wanting to make one. The gold and black look so great together.

All the Rage - Raw Crystals + Brass

Modern and mystical, it's hard to keep up with these new necklaces. I've sold almost a dozen this year. These are great on their own or for layering up and they go so well with my hammered brass earrings. Raw kyanite and quartz crystals are interspersed with Kenyan bronze hishi and hang on 24" brass chains. You can find them in my Etsy shop.

Quartz channels universal energy. It enhances energy by absorbing, storing, amplifying, balancing, focusing and transmitting. It's extremely beneficial for manifesting, healing, meditation and protection. Quartz dispels negativity energy. It enhances spiritual growth and wisdom. It clarifies thoughts and emotions, which makes space for inspiration and creativity. It can also help with concentration, and retaining what one learns. Due to its ability to balance, quartz is excellent for harmonizing and balancing one's environment.

The blue and brass are a striking combination. Blue kyanite helps open psychic ability, enhances telepathic communication and assists in lucid dreaming. It has a potent ability to transfer and amplify high frequency energy. Each color of this stone has specific chakras that it works best with but all varieties are effective to amplify healing.

I love how they look together! I plan on designing some earrings too so stay tuned...

Wholesale Catalog

Spent the last week making my catalog, now it's at the printer but I can share it here!

Sneak Peak...Wholesale Catalog

Suddenly realized I had to make my wholesale catalog right away and I've gathered up some wonderful local friends and customers to help a sister out. Can't believe how well the photo shoots have gone. I've been meeting these lovely ladies at coffee shops, eateries, their shops, their studios, their restaurants. They've met up with me on their way to the gym, on their way back from yoga, in the middle of painting, sewing, construction, in between sales at their shops. It's been crazy and amazing how quickly and seamlessly thing have been coming together. 

Here's a sneak peak of one of the pages. I just love the authenticity of all of it...real women, real friends who really wear my work in real places and aside from taking the time to do the photo we get to actually enjoy lunch, or tea, or a quick visit. It's such a nice way to see people during what can be a very cold/dark and isolating time of year. Most of the ladies, if not wearing their own pieces are wearing pieces very similar to what they already own of mine. I'm loving my new camera too, feeling very professional. Each day after shooting I work on the layout of the pages, add the close up jewelry photos and text. Can't wait to share it...for now here's what I think I'm going to use for the cover...what do you think?
