Sacha

Last night I participated in a spring studio-cleaning sale. I gathered these trays of gemstones that I’ve had for a while and thought someone else might like a chance to set them.

The sale was a good time & I’ve decided to extend it for a week. Swing by if you’d like to take a look 👀 (and don’t forget to dig through the bargain bin)!

I've been busy working on client orders but managed to find the time to set this beautiful sapphire for inventory. This natural stone is 1.61 carats and is listed as "orange pink" in color. Though it didn't officially make "padparadscha," I think it's close. It's set it in a 14k peach gold bezel with a 14k white gold band. Check it out on my website under AVAILABLE NOW.

I'm tardy in my post, but I'd like the thank 410 Project for hosting their annual Juried Exhibition in the community.

I have not received many awards over the year for my work, so I'm especially honored to receive this Artist Merit Award for my Rainbow Sapphire Bracelet.

I’m home (Minnesota Home) from a whirlwind trip to Tucson for the gem show. Here’s a few fun highlights:
Group photo at the AGTA (everyone minus Rob) - a sunset and a beautiful morning at our house - and a few fun photos still on my phone.

I spent the better part of two days seeking and learning about grey diamonds. The one pictured was a fun stone i came across in that process called an “icy grey” color. If you need more info on this 8.95ct stone (it’s quite a good price for such a stone) or would like to know more about grey diamonds, please reach out.

She said YES! Mazel tov to Mary and John on their engagement (and this beautiful Montana sapphire ring)!

It’s true 🥴

Today I’m having my annual self-employed Christmas party: just me, my backyard and some slightly self-conscious dance moves. 🥂 Gold lamé, Christmas hat, a glass of bubbles and celebrating making it through another year in business. Honestly, if you’re a one-woman show you know just how big it is to still be here. 👉 Comment: what does your “staff Christmas party” actually look like this year? 👉 Tag a self-employed friend who deserves a little end-of-year celebration. 👉 Share this if your party headcount is also “me, myself and I (plus maybe the dog)”. #thequiltroomaustralia #selfemployed #entrepreneurlife #selfemployedchristmasparty #onewomanshow

I’ve been meaning to update my website… here’s a few new things that are AVAILABLE NOW!
Image 1 is my Möbius Pendant with a Blue Topaz (3.89ct), Image 2 is a glimpse of the pearls & gemstones I have on hand (each is knotted on silk or nylon with a 14k gold or sterling silver clasp), and Image 3 is a Jelly Opal (3.56ct) set in 14k Yellow and White Gold.
