- New for August -
Now that summer is winding down, I wanted to create one last collection with some of my favorite summer colors and stones. The latest pieces are primarily a mix of turquoise and pearl. The turquoise ranges from pale aqua to deeper green tones, and the pearls are in a classic white. You'll also find a couple of rainbow moonstone rings with cool aqua flashes of color.

In addition to the one-of-a-kind pieces, there are several made-to-order designs. Turquoise beads are featured in two matching necklace and earring sets, while small pearls are included in a matching necklace, earring, and bracelet set. There is also a modern and simple silver ring and a dainty stamped silver necklace included in these last pieces of the summer.

The new collection will be released in the shop starting August 21st.

Here I am making stamped semicircles for a pair of turquoise earrings. I draw the lines out with a Sharpie before using a hammer to stamp the lines into the silver.

In this image I have just soldered the ring components from the previous photo. I used a set of charcoal blocks to balance the difference parts together while I was soldering.
