Yesterday was such a special day at the shop! I had the pleasure of a surprise visit from my college advisor, Dr. Z.

Many people don’t know that my journey into silversmithing really began with my degree in Geology. Studying the earth, minerals, and natural processes sparked a lifelong fascination with stones and the incredible beauty found in nature. What started as a curiosity eventually grew into a creative passion, leading me to incorporate natural gemstones and minerals into the jewelry I create today.

It’s funny how life comes full circle. The education and experiences that shaped my understanding of the natural world continue to inspire every piece I make. From selecting unique stones to appreciating their geological history, my background in geology is woven into the heart of my work.

Thank you for stopping by, Dr. Z! It was wonderful to catch up, share the space with you, and reflect on the journey that brought me here. You truly made my day!

Here’s some throwbacks!

❤️ Lizzie

Newest creations fresh off the bench ✨🌿

These two sterling silver rings feature stunning green Hubei Turquoise stones, each set in a different wide band style. One band has a hand-hammered finish, while the other showcases an organic texture created from recycled silver for a truly earthy, one-of-a-kind feel.

The photo also shows beautiful, one-of-a-kind ceramic works created by — I love how the earthy textures and tones of the ceramics pair so naturally with the jewelry. Both handmade ceramics and sterling silver pieces are available in the shop now with so many other local artisan creations!✨
