Oh, oh, oh. There are so many (very good!) reasons we could choose to depair, choose to embody our heartache. But what a waste of this single life we've been given that would be. If there is anything more radical than living into joy, I don't know what it is. Don't hear this as my encouraging you to bury your head in the sand. Far from it. I'm simply saying that we can do the good work of making this place harmonious and kind, AND opt-in to every opportunity that presents itself to us to embody our own joy and glee! Variscite is a stone of joy... it is there for all of us, if we choose it! 
 
Ethically sourced Variscite set in stering silver with fine silver bezel. Hung from a sterling silver chain.
 
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.
