Moving

Yep you read correctly...after several years on the east coast I'm heading back west to San Francisco. The move is bittersweet, but a long time in coming. So thank you Boston and New York for all the memories and hello again San Francisco.

Custom Earrings

A client recently asked me to make a pair of custom bird earrings. She sent me the design and this is the finished product - I loved the way they turned out. Let me know what you think!

Next up: Stones

I bought these beauties recently and I can't wait to make new pieces with them! You've already seen the emeralds and amethysts in the twig rings - the sapphires are the latest addition and came from a recommendation of a friend of mine. The rough diamonds are a gorgeous pearl grey (this picture does not do them justice) and measure a little over a quarter carat each.  My aim is to create a truly unique setting and then set them as solitaires for an alternative to the standard engagement ring.
Clockwise from top: Amethysts, Emerald, Rough Diamonds and Sapphires

Oh Photo!

Well, I've done it. My camera is broken! It fell from the counter onto the floor and the lens is bent and won't retract. It was an oldie but goodie and it's not really worth fixing soooo, for the time being I will have to resort to taking pictures of new items with my iPhone. Here's hoping to a camera fairy leaving a surprise at my door...
