Mountain’s Majesty – Mokume and Silver Wedding Rings
Brushed silver and copper mokume combine with silver overlay and blackened silver to create rings that celebrate the beauty of the mountains here in the southwest. The copper is left raw and will deepen in color with age, just like the wild beauty of this part of the world.
I love that the mokume can either represent the layers of earth in the mountains, or can represent the swirling of the wind in the sky.
These rings are commissioned. They are one-of-a-kind, entirely hand-crafted, and are signed on the inside.

18th Annual Night For Life Gala ~ Scottsdale, AZ
I’m proud to announce that I am donating a piece for silent auction to the 18th Annual Night for Life Gala 2013 – Illuminating the Path – Fundraising Event for The Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS. The center focuses on HIV/AIDS prevention, wellness and related research.
The Gala is a Black Tie Event happening at the Montelucia Resort and Spa on Saturday, May 11th. It looks like it’s going to be a blast—a glamourous and exciting event for a worthy cause! Last year’s gala was sold out and was a huge success.
To buy tickets and for more info about the event, visit The Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS website. You can click on a link to purchase tickets or a table for the event.
The item I am donating is very similar the Trinity necklace I made a few months ago. Brushed copper and silver with pearl that may be worn three different ways! Very sweet!

Wedding Ring: Hand-carved Silver, White Gold, Diamond and Sapphires
This ring is a commission based off of my signature hand-carved silver ring designs, especially Neptune Rising and Shiva’s Flame. The gems are set in white gold and the ring is hand-carved blackened silver.
The bride-to-be repurposed the gems from her grandmother’s wedding ring. Delicate sapphires and a crystal clear diamond set in a very modern and organic, earthy band make for an intriguing juxtaposition of style.
One-of-a-kind and very special. Breathtaking!
