It is said that Boulder Opals are the last of an ancient sea bed. Created over millenia, as ancient oceans dried up, moisture and silica combined under great pressure to make opal..this material was deposited in cracks and fractures in ancient boulders..thus the name Boulder Opal. The moisture left in the stone creates a sparkle, similar to a tiny rainbow when light hits the stone just right, and the best of the best are the Australian Boulder Opal.

Neckring of silver with 22K gold accents with Boulder Opal, each element is handmade and can be rearranged or removed to create a new necklace! Price available on request.

Contemporary Scrimshaw


Scrimshaw is an ancient practice that was perfected by sailors at sea, and carving on bone or fossil ivory is a very ancient artform and one of the longest lasting. These pieces mix up the artform with the lovely graphic qualities of dice, and give it a fresh perspective.

Those old earings...hmmm

Before this was a lovely ring with a natural twig inspired motif, it was two 10K gold signet rings from way way back. It's a very nice way to keep the sentiment and have a new sparkly treat. The cost of doing this piece was only the labor, since I used the gold from the old rings to make the new mounting. Inquire if you have pieces gathering dust in the jewel box!
