Spring is around the corner and we are loving the fresh palette of spring flowers, bright sunshine, and bluebird days. Special stones are taking center stage to inspire the mood of the upcoming season, such as Amazonite, Boulder Opal, Charoite, Pink Oregon Opal, Oregon Sunstone, Turquoise, Citrine, Tourmaline and more. We’re especially excited about multi-stone combinations that conjure visions of wildflowers, bubbling spring creeks, colorful butterflies, and blazing sunrises.

Our mining expeditions this year were short but mighty. We mined a fresh, new batch of Sunstones as well as visiting a brand new location for Owyhee Blue Picture Jasper. We are still trimming and processing our, now cured, Oregon Fire Opals, and we’ve been acquiring parcels of other fun stones, like turquoise, variscite, AZ agates and other materials to add to the collections. Check out the Store to see all the jewelry pieces available in the current collection.

Geometry is a passionate pursuit when dealing with the faceting of gems and stones that are hand cut in the studio to produce desired expressions. Each piece is put together in a concert of symmetry and asymmetry, compositions that both please and challenge the eye. The unfurling spectrum of the stones’ various colors increase the drama and harmony and coalesce to create expressive art pieces that uniquely convey your style.

“Each piece starts with the vision of the stone”

Every stone has a story to tell. To celebrate this, each is hand polished or carved to reveal its unique characteristics. We take wild adventures through Oregon and beyond to find these native stones. There in the wilderness, the dance begins; to learn their beauty, to insure the settings, fabricated from scratch, fully express the incredible nature of the stones.
