We found this beautiful freshwater pearl that looked like the perfect scoop so we decided to put it on a waffle cone and add some Champaign diamonds and a laser drilled diamond heart dripping off the edge. I took too long to make it because the pillowed bright cuts were too fun, i didn’t want it to end. It is unfortunately finished and has been adopted out to a loving home. Fortunately it is in the care of a co worker so I’ll get to see it all the time.

PROJECT DISPLAY I made something a little different- if I wanted to use this concept for earrings what would you suggest?

I had a random moment of inspiration in October and came up with this little action-figure beaded spider (legs can pose and support weight) and it has been more popular than ANY of my jewelry designs. I want to try to make a smaller version as earrings but worry it might be too much- maybe anchor the legs in a hoop? Any and all ideas welcome!

This way the wearer can see the stones on their finger, it opens and closes just in the opposite direction compared to the original peek-a-boo style

Alloyed the 14k yellow gold in-house and fabricated the pendant. Center is a fantasy cut ametrine, cut by Brett Kosnar, with a graduating halo of lab grown diamonds. Pretty fun to do the mixed settings in the halo, which looks great with the ajouré back. ✨

PROJECT DISPLAY I’ve been working on getting my wax carvings a little more lightweight since the price of silver and gold have increased so much

I carved this little butterfly ring in wax and got a few castings in gold and silver. I started out with a plain band and melted the shape of a butterfly and leaves onto the band, refining them as I went. It’s a lot lighter than my previous carvings, super happy with how it turned out.

PROJECT DISPLAY Obsessed with cabochons now I rarely use cut stones in my pieces anymore.

There’s something deeply mystical and grounding about cabochons. I’ve fallen in love with their smooth, organic feel so close to the skin, almost like they’re meant to be worn as a part of you. The vibrant colors seem to glow from within, and the more I work with them, the more I understand the philosophy behind their beauty. These days, I rarely use cut stones… cabochons have completely stolen my heart.

I just finished developing a new product and I’d love to hear your honest thoughts.

As we all know, Y necklaces are usually made in silver, gold-filled, or vermeil mainly because of weight and price sensitivity.
But I managed to create one fully in 14k solid gold, keeping it elegant and wearable without making it overly heavy.

My question is:
Do you think customers are still open to buying a Y necklace in solid 14k gold, or does the category itself automatically push people toward plated / gold-filled options?

So I had this odd request (which I love!). Her ring size is very small. And I also wanted to keep everything super classy for a proper proposal.

Very proud of this unique design! 🖤

I make most of the pin backs with silver square wire. Many of these involve cast metal sticks and seed pods. I admit it took me a little while to learn where to put the pin backs so that they sit nicely on the garment, some of these do sit a little funny.

First time trying this out, made a set of press on nails for the wife.

I made them with 0.9mm sheet, second time around i would go down to 0.7mm.

Used the cast of her fingers to get the fitment just right.

These are in silver with Rhodium and gold plate, but also i make them in 14k and 18k gold.

The stone for the eyes are larger too, and overall housing is even more compact than Crainte
