- New for Summer -
It's almost summer, and the new collection features bright aqua tones that are perfect for heading into the warmer summer months. Turquoise is the featured stone for the collection, but you'll also find Labradorite, Rainbow Moonstone, Rhodonite, and Amazonite in some of the new designs.

Using a few new stamps, I was able to create different textures and stamped patterns in many of the latest pieces. I tried to make each piece unique with special touches that are the hallmark of handmade jewelry. I hope you find a piece you love in this first collection of new pieces for the summer.

The new collection will be released in the shop starting May 22nd.

In this image I am about to start setting some stones into place. The silver has been given a pre-polish and is ready for the cabochons to be added.
