Making jewelry and navigating the challenges of owning a small business is a journey I'm grateful for but what I love most is when my work connects to the wearer. The material possessions we own should be filled with intention. When you pick something up that you own, you should love it, it should serve a purpose or both.
Every step of the process in bringing my jewelry to life is done with intention. Each and every piece that comes out of my little studio is meant to inspire you to slow down, connect to yourself, connect with nature and soak up the beauty in life.

Teton Hoops
$335
sterling silver & grandidierite
These playful hoops feature views of the Grand and Mount Moran beneath a rain shower with water cascading down beneath them. A symbolic rain dance. I hope they transport you to the mountains during a moment when the sun is illuminating the moisture in the sky and cascades and waterfalls are abundantly flowing down from their rugged peaks.
There will be one ready to ship and three made to order available at the time of the release.

Cascade Earrings
$365
sterling silver, 14k gold & grandidierite
These earrings were inspired by the glacial lakes high up in the mountains with water cascading from them down the canyon walls. The lakes and rivers and waterfalls here in the Tetons are always pristine and beautiful, but when the sun hits them, they’re brilliant. Same goes for these earrings. The color of the grandidierite stones is gorgeous in any light. But put some sun behind them and they glow!
Each grandidierite stone is quite different. More often than not, a pair will still have slight variation in color. These two stones are such a stunning color and are quite the match.
The cascading fringe has delicate movement when you wear them. I hope they capture a moment in time when you were mesmerized by magical teal waters.
This will be the only pair available at the time of the release. I do intend to make make down the road but it's unlikely that the stones will be the same exact shade of grandidierite.

Mountain Texture Ear Jackets with Grandidierite
$335
sterling silver, 14k gold & grandidierite
These earrings are a less literal representation of the pristine water and mountains in the Tetons. When making them, I was imagining sitting by a small glacial lake, looking at the glimmering water and the jagged peaks towering above.
I hope the wearer of these earrings is reminded to slow down and notice the subtle details in life... to sit by a lake and simply be. May they inspire you to notice your surroundings like the texture in the mountains and the way the water sounds as it gently laps on the shore.
These earrings can be worn a couple different ways. You can wear just the studs. Or to wear as jackets, put the studs in and then slide the texture panel onto the earring post and secure with an earring back.
Dimensions including texture panels: 18mm tall | 20mm wide | 5mm deep
There will be one ready to ship and three made to order at the time of the release.

Dimensions: 39mm tall | 15mm wide | 3mm deep
There will be one ready to ship and three made to order available at the time of the release.
