I know I’ve been inundating you with updates lately, but I can’t help it! I’ve just been so productive and I love to share :)

Firescale Carnelian & Garnet

Firescale Carnelian & Garnet Hammered Wire Necklace

This is the most fun I’ve had in the studio in a while! Mostly I’ve had to focus on production pieces – making a million earrings in a row and spending weeks building rings; they’re satisfying to make but it can get monotonous. I finally decided to spend today doing something completely unique!

I didn’t have a serious plan for this one but it worked out beautifully. I’ve had these firescale carnelian ovals for a very long time and it was lovely to use them in a serious piece like this.
