the last of the shard rings

6/25/2019

and so this one is GONE.
the last of the shard rings from a series of long ago...

it's fun to see them leave. happy together, the person, the object, the perfect match.
the little story behind these rings was indeed an inspiration, but really i just love the shape. shape, function, wear it as a ring, wear it as a pendant...wear it.

circle slice earrings

5/7/2019

into spring and looking ahead.
lots of work on the bench and the new slices collection is steadily growing.
the big squares have been selling out right from the beginning of the year and I recently added a slighter smaller size to satisfy the milder version of 'big'...

this week will be adding a new style to the line, here in preview...circles!

simple sequence of events in playing mode and so these new earrings came to life.

they go well together with the squares and make a perfect mis-match pair for a daring and stylish earring statement.
don't you think?

a collection in the making...

the slices are coming!
I have been playing around with strips of brass and came up with some simple but pretty striking square earrings.: the big square slices are 'simple geometry with dramatic proportions' (they are 2" squares), extremely lightweight to wear making a very distinctive statement....dare a little!

Since the beginning of the year these new earrings have been best sellers the minute I released them out to the world. many people have also been asking about a smaller version of these bold earrings, and so.... introducing below the slightly smaller version of the squares, still big enough for a decisive impact, but taking a bit of the 'big' edge off in a 1.75" square.

from the early feedback i am receiving it seems that these are the perfect choice for someone who wants to be brave and fearless at the same time, but in a just a smaller scale. as the bigger version, they come in black brass and in yellow brass.

golden days of summer

8/21/2018

a couple of weeks ago while looking for silver to melt, i found more treasures!
a few pieces of experimental work and 'studies' in sterling silver and 18K gold from way way back.

bit is one of 3 pendants i pulled out from that re-discovered pouch and refreshed by sliding it onto a simple black cotton cord, complete with 2 tube sliders to match for easy adjustment of length and pendant style.

and, going through my note books, also found the scribble i wrote at that time, apparently documenting the process along with the frustrations...!

it reads in my notes it was 'study 5' then...
yep, 1988 folks.

renamed it bit this time, for some reason it sounded better this time.

among the pieces in straight 18K gold are these earrings below, in quick pre-view

so excited to rediscover these pieces of my past-making!
so, as a summer round-up, i decided to put together a black+gold collection studio sale and have been working on the final touches for the sale launch on august 24!

and, if you are in town on sunday/august 26, i am having my last august studio visit weekend so plan to swing by for a chance to see everything up close and experience it in touch.

stay tuned for direct updates on this and other studio sales or studio visit weekends!

fun + function

7/18/2018

here we are.
just a week into their launch, these colorful summer pendants are having a splash!

people love playing with the matching sliders, giving each pendant a personal style. as always, the possibilities are endless.

am thinking, there will be bundles and sets coming...
they are just irresistible to go it alone, but once you have one on...it seems, something calls for more..

Circle and Stick Pendants - color sets

also, now available in 2 lengths, with a choice of a 36" or a 42" black waxed cotton cord, depending on how you play with the sliders, you can go from a chocker bolo-style pendant to a long grazing elegant look.

Circle Pendants - copper finish, 36" and 42" lengths

Circle and Stick Pendants - color and lengths mix

and last but not least: the fun + function of it all!
still looking for those glasses? now you can pair up a few things and have a colorful and stylish eyeglasses pendant for an everyday companion.
