- New for July -
Now that we're in the middle of summer, I wanted to include plenty of bright colors to celebrate the season. You'll find a mix of hues ranging from warm reds and oranges along with cooler blue and green tones in the new designs. There are also several turquoise pieces showcasing calming aqua hues.
-
The new pieces include a variety textures which I have applied by stamping, hammering, and carving the silver. A mix of both organic and geometric shapes have been combined to give many of the pieces a modern style. Whether you're looking for lightweight pieces for the summer heat or larger pieces that make a statement, this collection includes a mix of sizes and styles.

The new collection will be released in the shop starting July 14th.

In this image I am about to start setting a turquoise cabochon into its setting. I will carefully push the bezel over the stone to hold it in place.
