NEW In My Etsy Store! Finally!

I have finally had time at the bench this week. It was good time too! I love when everything works out and comes together without melting, crunching, falling apart.....etc...although I must admit I did break an amber stone when trying to set it.....so one out of three-not bad actually!

Up first....an agate druzy cocktail ring. This ring is full of bling (ha ha). It is one inch in diameter and set in sterling and fine silver. The band is nice and thick and has three stars soldered on the band. The stone reminds me of a beautiful night sky. This ring measures a size 8 which because the band is thick, fits a size 7 1/2" finger perfectly......THIS RING HAS SOLD.

Next up is a heart Larimar from the Dominican Republic. It is set in fine and sterling silver and set to hang at an angle for a modern twist.

To purchase either one of these items, or any other design you see on my blog.....please visit my shop at

It's not supposed to be this hot here!

Last year we didn't turn our air conditioner on until October! Today, I couldn't stand it. It is so hot and muggy here in So. Cal. It's really gross! Because of that, I have only been working at my bench on purchased orders. Nothing new to create....it's too muggy!

So I leave you with a beautiful picture of natural waterfalls from our trip in Colorado!
