Freshly photographed, I’ve finally gotten around to posting and offering up the silver cast succulent bud pendant! Coming from a digital background – as opposed to ‘legit’ jewelry creation experience like lost-wax process, etc. – it’s easy to assume you’ll automatically get a piece exactly as you submit the file, but they don’t and I’ve… Continue reading Silver Succulent Bud/Rosette Pendant

First up is a test print in gold-plated stainless… Continue reading Preview – abstract heart pendant

These fine little pendants, produced in the now all-popular and sustainable bamboo.
