- New for Spring -
Now that it's spring, it's becoming greener outside. This has inspired more green jewelry inside the studio. This month's collection features lots of verdant hues in a range of shades. It showcases plenty of turquoise ranging from deep pine greens, to bluish greens, and to lime green tones. Most of the stones are truly one-of-a-kind and unique, and many were turned into cabochons right here in my Pennsylvania studio. In addition to the turquoise, you'll also find a new labradorite set along with several new birthstone pieces. The birthstone pieces can be customized for different birth months and are designed with personalized gifts in mind.

To keep with the spring theme, there are also several pieces with leaf and plant designs which have been pressed into the silver. You'll find a pair of simple sprig leaf studs as well as a sprig leaf set featuring Sonoran lime nuggets.
