Hello, tourmaline quartz!
Fluorite!
After years of searching, I found green fluorite cabochons! They will be part of my next series…
Amber
It’s time to make something with this gorgeous amber from Chiapas. Let their golden warmth grace our fingers!
Gemstone Hearts
“The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire.”
Water
“Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
”
Planet Earth Ring V
“Those who do not travel,
who do not read, who do not listen to music,
who do not find grace in themselves
die slowly.”
Planet Earth Ring V.

“Of asphodel, that greeny flower,
like a buttercup
upon its branching stem-
save that it’s green and wooden-
I come, my sweet,
to sing to you.”
Planet Earth Ring IV.
Handmade with recycled sterling silver and natural turquoise.

Planet Earth Necklace II
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.”
Planet Earth Necklace II.

Mineral
For my next series, I was drawn to my box of gemstones. The energy of minerals is mesmerizing.
Kernels
Sometimes I can only show up in little bits. The rest of me has to process life, change, and the emotions that come with it.
