Rock Candy XL

The Rock Candy collection gets a little bit heavier with these XL necklaces. Huge gemstones anchor this necklace while little stones and pearls add a familiar RC detail and complementary color. These statement makers keep it casual yet dress it up.

Above is a smooth turquoise stone. It's smaller partners are a white freshwater pearl, light blue aquamarine, labradorite, pyrite, and tiny lapis. Together these pieces make a one of a kind necklace, so perfect for those summer festivals.




Gorgeous one of a kind faceted ametrine stones hang at the center of this necklace. They are paired with purple and yellow gemstones and freshwater pearls, aka Lakers colors.


Yellow jade, yellow freshwater pearl, citrine, amethyst, purple freshwater pearl.

A little more sugar can't hurt right?

Rock Candy

Colors and textures come together in these geometric and organic necklaces. Dubbed "Rock Candy" each necklace holds a collection of some of my favorite semiprecious gem stones and freshwater pearls. Paired together through complementary colors and varying textures, the hard and softness of each piece brings a balance.

Held tightly on a gold fill wire, the gems sit in a row straight across your neck for a harmonious symmetry among the asymmetric characteristics of gems and pearls. The necklaces are natural, bright, and one of a kind. They hold stones that bring a toughness and colors that brings a sweetness. Rock. Candy.


Pinks, corals, yellows, oranges on gold fill chain. These remind me of sunrises and sunsets. Love like a sunset.






Yellow jade, citrine, pink opal, and a soft pink freshwater pearl.




Cool colors reminiscent of the beach and sky.




Amethysts, chalcedony, and quartz.










And the deep colors for those late nights.


Various amethysts and a purple pearl.


Malachite, green freshwater pearl, sodalite, peridot, blue freshwater pearl.








Are you looking for something sweet?

Pendant Statements

The recent honey my heart gem stone necklaces have been simple and I wanted to change that. While I love the simplicity of a single stone and chain, I also love a necklace with lots and lots detail. Details like large pendants, mixing gem stones, coordinating colors, and finding balance. Each of these details come together in our new Pendant Statement collection.


I like the look of asymmetry. This piece of blue chalcedony adds a little bit of fun to the balanced green chalcedony chain.

I think I need some deep v-neck blouses.

Simple Statement Earrings

I purchased some gorgeous chalcedony briolette strands and knew they would be prefect accents to/updates for a prior collection (Statement Drops). The strands held soft pink, creamy blue, minty green, and bright orange chalcedony briolettes, all colors I am liking for Spring. The briolette shape is perfect as a pendant, a charm that can stand alone or as an end piece among other charms. I really love it's similarity to a tear drop shape. With some wrapping of the top with gold fill wire, the briolettes were ready to be attached to other jewelry components. While the briolettes would be great as pendants on necklaces, I wanted to pair them with my simple statements. The briolettes at the bottom are a great anchor for a bright and flirty pair of earrings. Hope you like them!














Happy Thursday! Hope you have a great rest of the week.

Simple Statements for Spring

After a visit to the Gem Faire last month, I came home with a lot of hand selected gem stones. These stones are wrapped in 24k gold, are faceted to reflect light and accentuate the color, and are so light weight. They are a perfect update of one of our styles (Simple Statements) and reflect Spring time nicely.


The necklaces hold larger gemstones for a fuller look. Above is pink chalcedony.


Sun stone. I wish I could capture how wonderfully the specks in the pendant sparkle when they catch the light.


Soft blue chalcedony reminds me of the soft blue sky.


Labradorite and moonstone. Both have an excellent blue flash when the facets catch the light.


The bracelets hold smaller gems for easy wear around the wrist. I tried to find gems with colors that would look great on any skin tone.




Hope you all like them! I will be sharing more and more of the Spring collection in the upcoming weeks.
