these special little tourmaline studs are on their way to a new home . . .... i have a few more pairs of tourmaline gems if you want to get yourself or a friend a pair . . . #greentourmaline #handmadejewelry #14kgoldjewelry #toumalinejewellery

well, i thought i’d be able to get more done these months but i have been mistaken. most of my time goes to this little iris and although it’s really quite hard it’s also beautiful, silly and rewarding to be her mama. she is already so bright and i’m in awe each day. with that being said, i’ve been digging my earring combo. i’m sleeping in them every night comfortably. sometimes i don’t get out of my pjs but when i have jewelry on i always feel ready to go and dressed. even ...if it’s only for myself, it feels good ! these horseshoe dangles are relatively quick to make so i’m offering these. feel free to dm for a pair or order on my website ! scroll to see more photos of earrings and baby #handmadeearrings #customjewelry #silversmith #ladysmith #oakjewelry #oneofakindjewelry #metalsmith #tourmaline #14kgoldjewelry

i rarely share my personal stories here and have kept this page for mostly jewels but life has been altered in many ways and it has a direct correlation with my world of art and business. so why not share the news? although sometimes it feels like time has stopped, there’s a little human growing in me proving that life is ever-changing and even in these standstills there are subtleties of growth to be experienced. she’ll be entering this world in july and we truly couldn’t b...e more excited being pregnant during these times has proven to be quite challenging. plans have been uprooted and expectations have felt impossible to let go of. i have been pushed inward and forced to navigate these hard emotions in order to relieve anxiety and stress. i am working on meditating and allowing trust to flow through me so i can nurture this baby. im finally feeling grateful for this slowness and the space to reflect. what a privilege it is to have a home, food to eat and work for our family that still provides. i have dedicated my energy to my physical/mental well-being and my home. i have some guilt putting business on hold especially during a time that i was supposed to be planing for upcoming markets/shows but i know my skills and customers will be there for me when i’m ready. custom work has got me through and i’m still open to orders for a few more months. i will be slowly posting and updating the website with lots of old stock at discounted prices so stay tuned friends and stay safe
