After sketching out the design for this Larimar pendant and choosing my materials last week, I started to wrap the larimar stone this week. I started out using the thickest silver wire I have available to create a solid frame around the stone. This frame with be sturdy enough to hold the stone in place. […]
This week I began working on a new custom pendant using a Larimar stone. Larimar is said to promote tranquillity and a strong sense of inner peace and serenity. It is useful in time of pressure and stressful change as its cooling and calming energy is said to help soothe frazzled nerves and reduce stress. I […]
This week I want to feature a pendant I made with a gorgeous slab of raw labradorite. The front side of this stone has been polished to have a smooth, uniform appearance but the back of the stone is raw, meaning that it is unpolished or treated. I prefer to work with stones that are […]
This week I had the pleasure of working on a custom piece for a friend of mine, working with a fluorite spear. Its a special challenge to make a piece of jewelry based off of someone else’s vision. Most of the time, when I am creating I get to call all the shots and have full […]

Over my years of wire wrapping there have been a lot of pendants that I’ve made with the intention to sell, that I ended up keeping for myself. This is not one of those. This piece wasn’t one that grabbed my attention after it was made or just looked too good around my neck to […]
Last week I finished adding on all the stone components that I’m going to be working with in this piece. Now I’ve begun to create the shape that will weave around the stones in the pendant. When working with multiple stones, I initially let the arrangement of the stones dictate what shape the piece […]
This is a piece that I created for a friend of mine. I had a lot of fun working with all of the seperate elements. To get started on the creation process, I sat down with the friend who commissioned the piece and talked with her about what colors and elements she was wanting to […]
This week I continued my work on this multi-stone piece. I am enjoying continuing to work on this piece! I am just about to get to the part that I find the most fun. As you can see in the photo, I attached two small orange stones. They are called orange kyanite. They are the […]
