Antique jewelry always has a story to tell. This 10k filigree ring had a chipped old cameo and barely a seat to set it on. I built a new seat, soldered it in very carefully and slowly to avoid melting any of the filigree. my friend @nhunter398 custom cut the turquoise rough to fit, and i tucked a wee diamond into a missing ornament, for good measure. She’s a fragile beauty, but, with care, should last another generation or so. I’ll try and dig the before photo out of the cloud for ya. 😎💎🥶🖤🤞🏼 . #antiquering #filigree #jewelryrepair #turquoiseandgold #heirloomjewelry #jewelryrestoration #goldsmith #craftswoman #buylesschoosewell #repairnotreplace #sentimentaljewelry #jewelrymakeover #meaningfuljewelry
Bless this mess!! My gosh it is muddy and messy inside and out, and no time for spring cleaning! Too soon the garden will need my attention- delighted to see the strawberries green and fluffy under all that snow 🥰 🍓❄️ this is my little bench where i do most of my work and can keep an eye on my puppy loves. it doubles as an altar during meditation and tarot practice, and i fill it with the stones i plan to use to let them soak up the light of the moon and the energy of the sun. they also give me lots of joy and inspiration! on the right here are some new strands of quartz and black tourmaline waiting to become powerful little talismans. #crystals #quartz #blacktourmaline #workspace #jewelersbench #messydesk #gardenview #muddygarden #meltedsnow #craftswoman #benchjeweler #alchemist #witchesofinstagram #crystalwitch #naturalight #blessthismess

solid gold. her heirloom diamond (from grandmother’s wedding in 1916) nestled in a heavy gold band, carved to appear as three. it took us a long time to whittle down words into this strong, minimal design. worth it, 100%. let me channel your jewelry visions, making dreams come true with meaningful art objects is what i do. @over.the.m00n for more... 💎🌅💫🥂🌝 #overthemoonstudio #diamondring #ethicalfinejewelry #recycledgold #heirloomdiamond #weddingring #bespokejewelry #handcraftedjewelry #nbssalum #craftswoman #goldsmith #oldworldskills #madeiniowa #byhandwithlove #onepairofhands #womanmade #uniqueengagementring #artdecojewelry #minimalistjewelry

quick photo of a new design, hand carved from recycled gold. it is so satisfying to get to finally create my vision, inspired by classic forms. still trying to figure out what the name is for this type of setting- where the prongs are carved straight out of the shank material- all one piece. any clues? . . . #ethicalfinejewelry #recycledgold #heirloomdiamond #handcraftedjewelry #fineartjewelry #uniqueengagementring #antiqueinspired #goldsmith #benchjeweler #meaningfuljewelry #handcarved #madefromscratch #uniquejewelry #byhandwithlove #celestialjewelry #manyclaws #alternativebridal #bespokebridal #madeiniowa #overthemoonstudio

cabin fever led me to uncharted waters... my first attempt at a wee portrait in enamel. the glass carbuncle both magnified and enlarged it- meaning i probably made my job a lot more difficult, but that’s often the case. swipe for the effect. #handcraftedjewelry #enamel #experimentation #petportrait #sentimentaljewelry #antiqueinspired #realjewellershands
