When I was working much of the day indoors, man-made environments made me yearn to be closer to nature.
While near flawless gems in perfect cuts can be dazzling, the same minerals with nature’s inclusions and random shapes are also interesting and beautiful and I can share them to be an everyday adornment at a minimal cost.
Handmade in the USA with every effort made to use the most natural and locally sourced materials I can find.
I draw design inspirations from nature; such as garnet and snow quartz combinations from viewing red berries covered with snow or aquamarine, pearls and quartz combination from viewing the ocean waves and amethyst and green aventurine combination from spring violets.
As I create each piece I hold intentions that the wearer has happiness and good fortune; I don’t just want it to look good, I want you to feel good wearing it! Feel free to use the contact for to start a dialogue with me if you have any special requests, I will be happy to see what I can do for you!

Quality Assurance
All items are handmade. If you are not familiar with artisan jewelry you should know it is not the same as machine made items: in the same way that an original painting differs from a photograph or print. Details of the items crafting is as the visibility of the artist's brushstrokes or the uneven surface of a canvas, and does affect the durability of a piece and is not a defect. The gem stones I use are natural and not synthetic, they contain natural inclusions and may be uncut or hand-cut and I prefer their irregularities, as they add to their unique characteristics, rather than use "flawless" imitation materials. Feel free to request additional photos of an item, or ask any questions before buying if you would like. I know it can be difficult to determine how you feel about a piece from photos compared to being able to see the item in person. I want you to be happy with any purchase you make. Should an item you receive not suit your needs please contact me within 14 days of receipt to arrange to return it. Items returned with approval will be refunded when I receive them unworn and undamaged by the purchaser.
