Autumn Leaves…sing it with me! The colors of this season are so inspiring, a favorite time of the year. We’re cooking up creations that blend these colors with some of the newest minerals that we’ve mined this year and last year. Owyhee Landscape Jaspers, Sunstones, and Oregon Fire Opal are some of the native rocks that will be cornerstones in the collection, as well as favorites like Arizona Agates, Crazy Lace Agates, and Turquoise. Mixed metals are a must to bring in the warm tones of Fall, as well as plenty of faceted sparkles, like those magic moments on frost filled mornings.

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.
