Patina time! Which means it’s time to activate the elbow grease.

I’m so happy that I have got to spend a good amount of time in my shop this weekend! It brings me joy to be working on all these pieces, but at the same time it can all be frustrating. This is a skill that takes years to master and even then are you truly a master? There are so many tips and tricks and techniques out there, it’s a constant education. But I feel just when I get in a groove, I end up out of the shop for a couple weeks. This delays not only my production but also my growth. BUT with all that said I am willing to put in the work. Willing to keep pushing myself. And if at the end I have pieces that will bring a smile to someone’s face, make them feel beautiful when they wear it, well that’s just icing on the cake.
What is one thing that you’ve worked on, mastered or studied that pushed you? I want to hear the successes and the failures, because in the end it was no doubt a journey.

⚡Please read!⚡

Between other obligations, being sick and struggling to finish my website, I’m going to release these now on Instagram! DM with your pick or with questions. First come first serve!

These pieces are not finished. They will be finished to fit. Meaning, you send me your ring size and then I will add the band, set the stones, polish and add a protective wax! Pieces should be ready to send out about one week after you order.

Because the band (shank) needs to be soldered on, the stone are not set. Heat and stones don’t mix. That is why the metal around the stone looks very unpolished, unfinished, unclean. You can also probably see floss. Floss is placed under the stones so they can be easily removed without damaging the piece or the stone. 😉

Since this is my first release (enter severe anxiety here) these pieces are discounted.

I appreciate all your support! Ideas are flowing and I have more metal on the way, so I hope to have
A. New pieces
B. A website
Coming soon!

Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks! 😉
First three rings off MY bench made by me! I first drew these up a month ago, so it was a slow process. But I haven’t been able to dedicate as much time as I would like. I also should have started off with simpler designs but that’s not really how I operate. They are full of flaws, but I learned a lot. I think the most important thing I learned is to embrace my mistakes and enjoy the process.

My Etsy shop is on vacation mode this week in support of the Etsy strike. Etsy has reported an all time high in sales and revenue, yet continues to raise the fees for sellers by 30%.
I encourage you to not buy from Etsy this week. Please reach out to your favorite makers on their social platforms or their websites to purchase. This will ensure the hard worker artists out there will get every last dollar from your purchase.
I have also included the link to the petition in my bio. Please take a few moments to go and sign it.
