August gemstone is"PERIDOT" which cleanses the mind of negativity and aids in friendship
My husband does all my casting, but I create all my original designs. Many times, you can see my fingerprints in the wax. The sliced cork jewelry is all cast from natural cork that has beautiful texture and we use wine, champagne or whatever cork we find. We can even use your special cork and make sentimental one of a kind pieces.
The first piece of copper jewelry I made was when I was learning how to form a copper cuff and handling a hammer. I learned there is a rhythm when striking the metal. Hammering came natural for me so I decided to add this texture to my jewelry. I owe all my techniques to my wonderful husband the jeweler and mentor.
