Tear-shaped Coral and Silver Shadowbox Pendant

Brushed silver carries red coral punctuated by the deep black in the shadowbox. The cut out at the top of the pendant flows with the overall shape of the tear and the coral. Holes in the side of the pendant allow the necklace to be seen through the front.

Coral and silver are a classic southwestern combination of materials, shown here with a new twist.

Entirely hand-crafted, this pendant is approximately a two inches long by an inch-and-a-half wide and a quarter inch deep. The coral is one-of-a-kind, as is the entire piece. Shown with a sixteen-inch silver omega necklace (separate from the pendant). Hand-signed on the back.

Hand-Carved Silver Lace Cuff

This “silver lace” cuff is anything but dainty. Solid silver, this bracelet is comfortably weighty without being heavy. A gorgeous piece, the curve and the cut-outs refract light and color so that the bracelet seems to shimmer.

Modern with an organic feel! Simply stunning.

The inside of the cuff is curved and smooth for a very comfortable fit. Signature piece.

Mokume and Shadowbox Double-Sided Pendant

Two different styles in one hollow form pendant.

Brushed silver with a hand-cut organic line that opens up to a shadowbox that shows the inner workings of the piece. Like a detail mirroring the mokume on the other side, the shape of the cut out swirls around a circle that opens to another shadowbox with copper inside.

The other side is hand-crafted copper and silver mokume with a contrasting turquoise set in a shadowbox. The color of the copper will deepen over time, making this an evolving piece.

Copper, silver, and turquoise reflect the beauty of the southwest.

Hand-crafted hollow form shadowbox. Approximately 1 inch wide by 1 1/4 inches tall by 1/4 inch deep. One-of-of-a-kind.

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 nature 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.

Silver, Copper, and Turquoise Pendant

Copper tops a fine silver and turquoise shadowbox pendant. The copper is heated to intensify its color, a process which creates intense variations in the color that are not entirely predictable. The stone has natural striations of browns, golds, and blues in it as well – making this a very unique piece. Fluid organic line in the “shadow” coupled with copper highlight the stone beautifully.

Hand-crafted, hollow form, one-of-a-kind. Signature style. Approximately two inches long and a quarter inch deep. Signed on the back.
