October gemstones are "Opal" Encourages both freedom & independence, "Tourmaline" Promotes Inspiration & Happiness
I love to add texture to my jewelry so I use different tools to get my special effects. I owe all my techniques to my wonderful husband the jeweler and mentor.
From the beginning I was always mixing metals together because as a woman I sometimes need something to go with lots of outfits. I love the contrast of different metals flowing together in a design. The mixed metals I use together look awesome with different textures and patinas. You’ll find me not just adding two metals like copper and silver but with three colors like brass to accent an outfit for any occasion.

Taking care of your mixed metals jewelry: This piece of jewelry is high polished and oxidized so it will keep its patina that it has. If you want to shine it up just use a polishing cloth, which we have available under Accessories.
