The more time I work with the earth - stones in jewelry, plants in my garden - the more I see how so much of all of it reflects one another. Stones reflect plants, plants reflect the skies, and on and on. This piece is inspired by the ways earth and the heavens are, ultimately, layer upon layer of reflections of one another. How, too, do you reflect the nature that is around us, that is us? All part of this same, wild story... 
 
Ethically sourced Dendritic Agate, Rainbow Moonstone, Spinel Oyster, Crazy Lace Agate, and Peach Sapphire set in sterling silver with fine silver bezels. Hung from an approx. 18" sterling 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.
