Here are some of our pieces that we have in stock now, just waiting to find a new home!

First we have a beautiful opal encased in blue stained glass in the shape of a tear drop. The smooth glass allows for the opal to remain protected while also showing its true beauty and color fire with awe-inspiring clarity. Many people may be hesitant to consider adding glass jewelry to your collection, and while the hardness of glass is a valid concern, you will often find that more brittle materials often have a significantly longer lifespan when worn as earrings or necklaces as opposed to the wrists or fingers. These areas of our bodies don’t see regular contact with other surfaces besides our skin, and glass will not ever tarnish from sweat, nor will it irritate the skin. Glass also has a drastically lower melting point compared to most gemstones, allowing it to be molded into any shape you like. Some of these shapes actually do increase its structural integrity as well. The teardrop shape specifically removes almost every single stress point from the stone, so even harder impacts will likely not damage it at all. Glass can also be colored in almost any way we want, giving us a perfect canvas to create truly unique pieces that stand out among the more common materials.

A second piece we have in the studio is a pair of .23 carat moissanite earrings set in rhodium plated sterling silver. Moissanite is a very interesting stone, most known for its striking similarity to diamonds, in fact, moissanite has been known to throw more color than diamonds of similar cuts. It is somewhat softer than a diamond, sitting at 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, however it boasts an absurd scratch-resistance, even beating out sapphires and other corundums. This is a very high value stone compared to something like a diamond or sapphire, which is much more expensive. Moving on to the band, Sterling silver is an alloy consisting of 92.5% silver, and 7.5% of other metals, usually copper. This alloy increases its durability, while maintaining its luster. This increase in durability alone makes it a perfect candidate to be plated with rhodium. Rhodium is a significantly more rare, bright white precious metal that is extremely corrosion resistant. This means that on an earring that may not see as much surface contact, the rhodium plating will last much longer, allowing the wearer to reap all the benefits of this metal, while only having to pay for a very small amount of it. The corrosion resistance of rhodium also protects the silver underneath, increasing the piece’s overall longevity and structural integrity.
