Handcrafted jewelry featuring natural gemstones cut, shaped, and selected with care.

My work begins in the lapidary shop, where I cut and polish many of my own stones — from freeform cabochons and classic cabs to faceted gemstones with unique color, character, and light. I also use carefully chosen commercially cut natural gems when they are the right fit for a design.

Each piece is made to feel earthy, personal, and one of a kind, using stones like turquoise, quartz, jasper, opal, sapphire, ruby, and other natural gems and minerals. I'm especially drawn to stones that are a little outside the ordinary — the kind with texture, pattern, depth, and story.

For fellow creatives, I also offer natural stones, specimens, and lapidary materials to inspire your own work.

I believe natural gemstones reflect the beauty and creativity of God's creation — each one distinct, imperfect, and full of character. You won't find synthetic gemstones here; every stone is natural and chosen with care.
