Oxbow Designs

It’s the start of my favorite season of the year, tomato season. These 🍅 charms are coming back to my website at 12pm MST today.

The first batch of summer is juicy garnet, carnelian, peridot, citrine cabochons set in 14k gold. There is one surprise ruby set in 18k with a secret emerald on the top.

I’m also releasing a variety of hand connectors. They’re perfect for layering, charm jumbling, and/or chain extending. The hands holding the vintage-inspired dog clips have a few extra gems on their wrists and fingers.

The tiny tomato totes are back too. Brandon from Diorama Labs ™ designed and made the cheekiest tomato pins to decorate your totes this year, and I’m obsessed. I hope you love ‘em! See you soon! ♥️🍅

🍓 first taste of summer!

7 carnelian strawberry charms with tiny emerald seeds are live on my website.

I was super lucky and excited to take a “Stone within a stone” setting class with at this spring.

I’ve been practicing these new techniques for cutting/ carving stones. Of my first batch of 10, these 7 strawberries survived :)

It’s gonna be a “small batch” summer, with smaller collections on a flexible timeline to get a little studio time & baby time. Best of both worlds ♥️

A new collection of Rock Boxes will be one my website today, 5.8 @ 11am MST.

There are six boxes featuring Green Garnet, a giant aquarium, green sapphire heart, blue geo step-cut sapphire, pink spinel and a mosaic with a reclaimed diamond & Montana Kaleidoscope sapphire.

Every box lid snaps shut (sound up to hear that satisfying click) so you can store your tiniest treasures inside. Every box ships with a raw gemstone inside for the rock lovers in all of us.

Thank you!

The Rock Box Lockets: a collection inspired by collecting.

I can still picture my childhood purple rock box filled with rocks from rivers, geodes cracked at home, beach glass (it counts), obscure stones from outer space, and velvet satchels of fool’s gold. My obsession with rocks lead me get a degree in Geology and onto jewelry making.

The first five Rock Boxes feature spinel and aquamarine from East Africa (sourced from ), a geo step-cut Australian sapphire, and two reclaimed white diamonds.
Each Rock Box opens and latches closed, designed to hold your own small treasures. Each box top is set with a unique polished stone, and the locket will arrive with a piece of raw rock closed in the chest so you can see the stones whole incredible journey.

As many of you know, I’m heading into maternity leave at the end of this week. Things will be a bit quieter here as we adjust to life as a family of four. Eva will still be in the studio, and temporarily restocking the website with some pieces we’ve finished. Thank you for all your well wishes & being here — I feel very lucky to be part of this community. Send tips for life with a toddler and a newborn : )

I’ve had some crazy fun new skulls in the works, and I’m adding them to my website tomorrow 3/11 @ 10am MST!
This drop features “collective tears”- 4 charms with articulating Montana sapphire tear drops, and 4 “old soul” signets from repurposed vintage signets with ghostly monograms, a couple funky cabochon eyes, new bi-color combos & just some beautiful things too :)
As always these skulls are repurposed from vintage diamond bracelets! Thank you- Excited for these!

Help us raise $1000 for !

100% of the sale of our favorite cinnamon sugar toast charm will be donated to Casa de Paz, who work here in Denver to welcome recently released newcomers, Asylum seekers, and immigrants & work to reunify people with loved ones.

Their vision is “For people to not be detained and for folx to be treated like human beings regardless of legal status.”

This toast charm is on sale for this fundraiser, but I know that it’s expensive, and there are many other ways to get involved with incredible organizations. It is amazing to see so many small businesses and small business owners standup against our current administration and support the efforts to abolish ICE. Take care of each other 💗

dash of salt, squeeze of lemon, pat of butter, and a tiny sardine 👌 4 fish toasts will be in tomorrow’s (11/20) holiday toast drop at 10am MST! Thank you 💛

Holiday Info, as promised!

I love this time of year. We start getting ready for the holidays in August, and as busy and crazy as it is, I get to spend the majority of my time at my bench making things, and that’s a gift I don’t take for granted. My favorite part of this year is adding Eva to the Oxbow team, and we are a mighty team of two! Cheers to another year of Oxbow, thank you all so much ♥️

While we have your attention, 💯 % of the sale of these 3 tiny toast charms will be donated to as they work so hard to provide food for our Colorado communities. Thank you for contributing & please support your local food bank 💛

That time of year 💀
I have new skulls I’m adding to the website tomorrow (10/10) at 10am MST! Every skull is made using diamond teeth I repurpose from antique or vintage diamond bracelets/earrings, and the rest of the skull is fabricated using 14k fairmined gold.
There are some new minis in this collection (bc wow gold!), rare color change garnets, tourmaline, diamond, and 5 customizable skulls.

Does this song make anyone else think of Matilda? See you tomorrow.
