Lotus Flower & Moroccan Inspired Turquoise Ring in the Making

After taking a class last summer on using a new metal I quickly was drawn to the great textures I could create with this new technique. This lead me to this Moroccan-inspired, lotus flower turquoise ring. I love the elegant curve to this shape and have based my new line of jewelry on using it in interesting ways. While making the lotus flower ring I took a little video. It is a behind the scenes look at just a little of what goes into making each piece of jewelry that I sell in my shop.

New Work – Crazy Lace Agate Cocktail Ring

I just finished up on these rings and wanted to share. Some of you might have seen one of them on my facebook page, but now I have some semi-decent pictures. I got the lovely golden and red stone at a local mineral club show, it was really fun getting to see some local stone cutters and I always like supporting other makers. The color of this stone is gorgeous and has some stunning reds and golds swirling through it. This ring band is quite substantial, and is imprinted with a trailing vine pattern. I gave the ring an antiqued […]more

New Jewelry & some news

It has been a little while since the last update. A lot has been going on, both in my personal life and with Abella Blue.

Also, if you have sent me correspondence in the past two weeks or so, it looks like the contact page was not working correctly. I am so sorry and it looks like everything is up and running correctly again. So if […]more
