Weekly Update 7/2/2014

Summer is officially here, this is my favorite time of year. I love the relaxed ease of getting dressed into flowing tops, shorts and flip flops.  There is a carefree feeling that comes with the summer time. I love being by the water and starting my days with beach walks and rock digging. The past few weeks have been productive on the bench as well as personally. Happy July everyone I hope you are planning something fun for the 4th!

 

 It was a dear friends 30th birthday a few weeks ago, what better way to celebrate than going on a booze cruise around the city. It was the perfect night, warm, no humidity, just a slight breeze, water was clear and not choppy. The skyline was incredible, lots of dancing, cheers, dollar store party favors, and throwing a message in a bottle overboard. Maybe It will come back to me one day :)

 It doesn't matter how many times you see the Statue of Liberty or any significant landmark.  It always looks beautiful on a serene night with people you love.

This image was perfection, freedom tower, sailboat, and sunset.

Pre setting stage for some made to order pieces, the purple chalcedony collections, and a labradorites.

 I shared all the finished purple chalcedony pieces on my Facebook and Instagram but this ring is my favorite of the collection.

 Another one of a kind piece headed out to the UK. Rainbow Obsidian.

 These are my most popular post earrings, vintage fire opal glass. I acquired a whole vintage lot at a vintage warehouse. They are set in sterling with a sterling post.

New addition coral post earrings, simple sweet and the perfect salmon coral.

 Went rock collecting for a good friend who uses beach rocks for some of her designs. Her work speaks for itself she puts so much heart and soul into her collections. You can find her Facebook page here.

More blue labradorite because I cant resist when It comes to stones.  All four are available for customs.

 

Starting my day good morning rocky beach.

 And a little fruit parfait. I love berries on the beach.

 I created this custom piece for a lovely customer of mine in Texas. She is a warrior spirit and was immediately drawn to the purple labradorite stone. This design just came very natural from start to finish. It felt like it was hers from the moment I started sawing the metal. Every piece is made with love but this especially is a spirit piece.  It has so much positive energy radiating from the neckline.

 I paired it with a thick sterling chain and purple amethyst on the bail.

 Look at my Little Pirate, Wally is winking at you ;)

 Another shot of the vintage opal earrings , rose quartz ring, and recycled flat set.
