New Stuff

I finished some rings today... if you're waiting for a custom order and don't see it here, don't worry, I have a couple more that are almost done. I'll hopefully get these listed in my shop in the next day or two.

New Designs!

I've been working hard to catch up on some custom orders, plus create some new pieces, and today I finally have some things to share...

large labradorite ringAnother big round labradorite ring

labradorite cocktail ringI've been wanting to experiment more with non-shiny finishes lately; partly because I find them more visually interesting, and partly because it's a pain in the butt to get a perfect mirror finish on everything I make! I like the way this turned out.

smoky quartz ringI'm not sure about this one. It's a beautiful, large smoky quartz cab, but something is missing... I'm going to try oxidizing it and polishing it to bring out the texture of the band and see if that helps.

blue moonstone ringAnother Caribbean blue moonstone ring (rainbow moonstone over a thin layer of blue resin); this one is spoken for but I made another similar one to list in my shop.
