This was such a pleasure to work on - my first Aussie opal! The greens and blue are just stunning.

I set out to create a piece that felt 'grown'. I carved the stone freeform and engraved some tiny leaves to frame it.

Initially I felt like the opal was a leaf, but somehow I changed my mind and it felt more like an aetherial fruit by the end of my time working on it. Either way, I love how it turned out, what do you think?

A series of tiny nose gems on a special display stand ✨ The garnet hearts and agate flame are local stones, artist collected in the heart of the city - the North Saskatchewan River Valley 💕

Water drops are apatite, iolite and peridot. All lapidary and silver work is done in Edmonton, Alberta. My dream nose wear, perhaps yours as well?

Hello everyone 😊✨

So cross posting from Instagram is not a thing anymore - I apologize for leaving this space quiet! Here is a selection of what I have been up to...

Sapphire cloud ring for my incredible partner 💙💙💙

Happy scenes from our garden this year! My hands needed a rest from metal and stone, so I have been in the garden.

This year I grew our starts and had some fun with new varieties! Goji berry, herbs galore, cucamelon, so many types of pepper, tomato and eggplant, garlic for the first time and sprouting broccoli that I am so in love with...! Warm regards from the garden everyone! 🌱🌞🍀

Organic silver twigs dangle tiny leaves 🌿🍃🌳

My boldest earrings yet! These raw Iolite and natural grape agate show stoppers drift across the collarbones and have the most delicious movement.

Asymmetrical and topped with handcrafted organic elements that create a sense of balance between the raw gems and fine silver chains. They feel like a summer breeze in earring form...

Who else loves it when clouds blow across a crescent moon? Here are some dreamy asymmetrical pearl earrings I'm really happy with!

Raw gemstone dangles in iolite and apatite. Elegant little pops of colour with great movement and textures.

Also, just for fun, one of our habanero pepper plants. We have been preparing for months and this is set to be our best garden yet!! 🌱🌞🌶️ What is everyone growing this year?
