a messy bench is a productive bench!
you’re just here for the jewelry, right?! this one was hard to part with. every stone i hand select and work hard to find ethical, secondhand, or old old stock options to reduce the impact on society and our environment. not sure on the origin of this opal, but that’s a montana sapphire set in gold up top. it was kind of orange with a blue stripe, i wish i had time for a better photo. that’s a 2mm sapphire to give you a sense of scale. p.s. #nofilter #ethicalfinejewelry #opal #opalmagic #handcraftedjewelry
BIG Turquoise in quartz - a special stone whose guitar pick shape inspired the fret pattern, in 14k gold for contrast and fancy. Completely hand fabricated in sterling silver and 14k, always recycled. This one was a good time!! 🦋💍💙 #realjewellershands #ethicalfinejewelry #handcraftedjewelry #customjewelry #turquoisering #sterlingandturquoise #guitar #musicianstyle #guitarjewelry #nbssalum #snagmember #byhandwithlove #benchjeweler #customjewelry #americanturquoise #gentsring #bigrings #unisexjewelry #ifitfits #jewelryforeveryone
Here’s to a sparkling fresh new year, no filters needed!
New year, new focus, I am refusing to compromise and only taking commissions that allow me to work my full magic. Serpent in the enchanted garden, tourmaline in quartz, hand fabricated sterling with 14k accents, and blue sapphires on the moving wings of the butterfly. Made by hand, with love, and a healthy serving of magic. 🔮 video and process shots @over.the.m00n if you want more 😘
i made it. extra extra unicorn tourmaline in quartz by my friends @azurz 🔮 🎁 some very lucky someone gets to open this today! 🌙 i think i will only make stuff like this from here on out, that feels like the right decision. 🥰 ... ... ... #handcraftedjewelry #fantasyring #snakering #tourmaline #unicornjewelry #botanicaljewelry #creepycrawlies #fairyjewelry #tinydetails #enchanted
on this shortest day, i’ve got two jobs left for xmas, and in between them restoring this poor lovely ring. 💫🤞🏼😬🎁 p.s. this is why i try to make things that are repairable, so many people do this work in a hurry and on a budget, no time to regard what the future holds and what an important piece of the past remains. p.p.s. time is not linear. rushing and skimping are rarely worth the sacrifice. do it well and do it right and leave something worthwhile for those who come after you, honoring those who came before. .... ..... ...... #heirloomjewelry #jewelryrepair #weddingband #handengraving #jewelryrestoration #jewelryredesign #benchjeweler #whatgoesaround #cyclicaltime
leaving this yellow jade here as a prayer for sunshine tomorrow. i’ll be hard at work before the sun is up anyhow. 😘🌞💫
diamonds.
i could finesse these details forever. pretty sure i’ve passed the point of perfectionist and now am just delaying setting the emerald and tapered baguette diamonds. i get nervous!!! this is why i NEED deadlines or there will always be more details to procrastinate over. living with anxiety = it’s not late bc i’m lazy, quite the opposite. #goldsmith #handcraftedjewelry #recycledgold #anxietydisorder #mentalhealth #selfemployed #creative #ethicalfinejewelry
