New Fall Designs!





I’ve been busy in my studio creating for fall. From Turquoise to Jasper to Agate and everything else in between!





Some of the new designs are a bolder and chunky look, some with charms and others with more wire sculpture.











I’ll be adding new pieces through-out the next month in my shop. Stop by often to browse, see what’s new and start early on your Christmas shopping list!

All Things Wood In Great Gifts!


Trying to get a jump on your Holiday Gift buying? Looking for that perfect Holiday Gift? Then look no further than here…. I received a great gift, a stunning wine topper, made from Brazilian wood. The design was crisp with clean lines, just small enough from my female hands.






An incredible wood craftsman, my dad, makes all things wood and has for many years. He designs and creates some of the most dramatic wood wine toppers and cork screws, pen – pencil sets, and much more.


He buys some very exotic woods such as Zebra, Brazilian, Hawaiian, Jerusalem, and even your more common varieties such as Cherry, Oak, and Maple. He then handcrafts the wood pieces on a lathe, making intricate cuts, rounding corners, and filing down the wood pieces, into these awesome creations! Once the wood pieces are complete, he then starts the process of putting all the pieces together, kind of like a jig-saw puzzle.

For more information and how to purchase any of these items, please contact him via email.

Turquuoise the Gemstone

Turquoise is one of the most beautiful gemstones created by nature. It is a soft and porous stone with colors ranging from blue to green, resulting from the presence of either copper or iron accented by black or brown veining. Sleeping Beauty and Kingman turquoise from the Arizona mines in the southwestern United States are the most sought after and valuable of turquoise, but it is also mined in China, Peru, Mexico, Tibet, Siberia, Africa, Australia, and Europe.


Types of turquoise include Sleeping Beauty and stabilized turquoise, chalk turquoise from China, African turquoise, yellow turquoise, white or magnesite turquoise, howlite and mountain jade.

Turquoise is believed to promote health, communication and good fortune, protecting the wearer from evil. It is the traditional birthstone for December and the gemstone for 11th year wedding anniversaries.





The Gallery below and our shop contains many different designs with Kingman Turquoise, Magnesite Turquoise, and White & Green Howlite.
