New turquoise rings set in 14k yellow gold. Heart

New turquoise rings set in 14k yellow gold. Heart is thumpin for these. And hallelujah I think I finally had a break through day.

I’m going to update my website this week with some new pieces including these so stay tuned.

Anyone who wants to have one of these simple turquoise rings made in their size (in gold) please see my story for some details. I’m going to open up the remaining stones as made to order for you. Please see info over there ✨

Last month I took a leisurely 14 hour drive down t

Last month I took a leisurely 14 hour drive down to TN for a week long stone setting course in the hopes to develop my skill set as a jeweler. It’s been on my mind to have a small selection of fine/ engagement offerings alongside my usual work, and this seemed like the place to go to get it done.

I had an amazing time, the week was magical. I LOVE taking jewelry classes and learning new things, collaborating and discussing work with peers. It’s a wonderful environment to be in, especially when you typically work alone. I’m a people person by nature so it was really nice to be with others working as a team in a way.

Anyway- I’m really excited to put these new skills to use - however - there’s a big “but” in the way . Before going to the school - I wasn’t aware we wouldn’t actually be making the rings we would set. All of the rings you see me working on - are pre made , cast mountings. We only learned how to set the stones. Stone setting is such a precise, highly skilled task, there wasn’t time in the curriculum to also instruct fabrication, and so - although I can now set these stones- I have no idea how to make the pieces to set them in 😂. So in a way I’m at the finish line but I never actually started .

So, although this is all exciting and I’ve gotten some messages for this kind of jewelry already- there is still a bit of a road ahead before much of anything like this becomes available. Lots of learning and practice will still need to be done behind the scenes. Little by little - I’ll get there.

It has been difficult for me to take time out for professional development and growth, when at the end of the day- I need to fill orders and do what needs to be done to pay the bills. However, going forward in this new workspace , I’m hoping to turn over a new leaf and set aside time to grow and not focus so much on making as much as I can all of the time- which is a bad habit I’m always in. Trying to break that wheel and slow my roll a little into a more diligent, organized, and mindful jeweler. It’s already begun, just have to stick with it .

New things ahead ! Thanks always for being along for the ride ✌️

Working on some gold and turquoise rings at the mo

Working on some gold and turquoise rings at the moment ✨ I started these bezels back at Christmas - I didn’t have time to finish them and they’ve been sitting in a little neglect pile until today. Just finished soldering them up and move onto the next phase .

To be completely transparent, I have a really hard time working in gold. I did it a bit in the past - and just found it super frustrating… and I’ve been putting off committing my time to master it. But here I am, in self inflicted boot camp for gold, and committed to a calm demeanor . (occasionally there’s projectiles when things go horribly wrong in here)

I have my fingers crossed all of these make it to their final destination - but I’m sure there will be a few casualties along the way . I scrapped about 6 bezels out of this bunch already . 🔥 💰 🔥💰🔥💰. Everything is fine . Stay tuned - they’ll be done sometime next week .

Danielle is at the arts in the plaza today in Long Beach from 10-3. To say hi !

I’m in rockaway getting a solid day in at the work bench which feels so good after lots of painting and diy little reno. Now just need @scrappyjeff to whip up some shelves and I’ll open softly in a week or two, and continue to build out from there.

* this ring is not for sale - it was a custom from a while back and giving it it’s little space on the grid . I loooooved this stone . So good .

Shipping these jewels out today plus a few others.

Shipping these jewels out today plus a few others. Nearly caught up with all orders and a few repairs. I can’t wait to get moving on some new pieces in the new studio . It’s been a challenge to work amongst the mess but I’m doing what I can. I’m excited to to really get cranking soon !
