We are faced with so many opportunities to judge, to fear, to condemn. What if we made a conscious choice to approach each situation we face with compassion and loving kindness, curiosity? While the distances between us may seem vast, the truth is that very little separates us. How can we cultivate the art of building bridges and finding common ground? What if instead of focusing on how we see things differently, we placed some focus on all that connects us? I am eager for a chapter marked by building bridges. Opalized Wood is a stone of compassion and loving kindness... let's dive into that energy.
 
Ethically sourced Opalized Wood set in sterling silver with fine silver bezel. Size 7 1/4.
 
All my pieces are individually handmade from natural stones and recycled metals. No two items are alike, and they will all have natural imperfections. These imperfections imbue the work with unique personality, grit, and story – the stuff of character. 
 
Stone jewelry shouldn’t be worn in water or exposed to chemicals (soaps, lotions, detergents). I like to think of stones as living things (on much different time scales than the ones we are accustomed to). To extend their lives, we need to limit their exposure water and other chemicals/liquids.
