Mom's stacker ring. I LOVE making rings, you can send me a stone and i can set it! i also have a few more of the turquoise chunks used in this ring if you're interested!



Mini Sheild; hammered sterling silver focal point, sterling chain and wire with 8 prenite drops (this also can be done with iolite gems (it is a purple gem, check out the purple vintage piece that i was working on, that is iolite)$80



This is an example of working with a vintage piece. I LOVE DOING THIS! I found this triangular antique focal point, and was able to find gems that matched! Then i put a patina on all of the silver and chain to make it look old. This was a custom order, but if you have a vintage piece that you would like updated or remade, let me know!
