Studio Update: June 2021
This past month brought many new things to the studio, including a spectacular shipment of labradorite from Jaipur, despite COVID related delays. I have been hard at work trying to do justice to those lovely stones. The warmer weather has also inspired me to take on some lighter, more “everyday” feeling striped staples. From bar studs to hoops - I am really loving these airy originals, and am enjoying the process of making things on a small scale again after the larger efforts in labradorite. I love wearing a combination of the large and small scale together.
These groups (above and below) really showcase the rainbow of colors you can get from labradorite - these are all the same kind of feldspar. Taken at a slightly different angle I would have gotten a whole different rainbow. I like how they change with the light and seem to have a mind of their own.
Keep your eye out in the month to come for more of these lovely stones and some new weave patterns for silver bangles and cuffs, which I can never seem to get enough of when the weather is warm. Stack my arm full of silver and give me a glass of chilled wine and I’m happy to sit in the garden and watch the plants grow.
Be well friends! Send me a message if you need birthday gifts or milestone presents, I’m happy to help. See below for links to all the new One-of-a-kinds that joined the collection this month.
A soothing teardrop of labradorite, undulating in hue from deep blue to amber with flashes of bright green and orange, is set in a combination of fine and sterling silvers. As is customary with labradorite, this stone appears slightly different in every light. Labradorite helps eliminate the emotional drain of daily routine and lightens a soul weighed down by responsibility, awakening a sense of adventure, change and spontaneity. One of a kind ring, handmade in the USA. Stone measures 26 x 20mm.
Size 8.
