You're welcome Pat

I spoke with my good friend Pat over the weekend for the first time in a few weeks. We were discussing the essentials, work and taxes, when he suddenly remembered why he had called me a few days before. An ITALIAN HORN! One of my pieces reminded him of an Italian horn so he called me to see if I could make one. I believe the conversation went something like this;
Pat: "Holy s*#t do you remember Italian horns in high school"
Me: "How could I forget...I wanted one and I'm not even Italian"
Pat: "Seriously, if you could make me an Italian horn and a pinky ring I would be set"
Me: "Done and done!"

I'm still trying to come up with a great pinky ring for him but the horn will be done this week. I hadn't intended on putting them up for sale but I figure...what the hell. So if you're Italian or just nostalgic for some of the amazing jewelry from the 80's, grab one of the horns. I think that my next 80's flashback might be the gold nugget pendant. You're welcome all of you.

In memory of Lost

I've had a love/hate relationship with Lost for the past few seasons but I think that I will still be sad to see it go.  We will, however, finally get that closure that we need to move on with our lives so I thank them for that.  In memory of this insane program I've made a Ba Gua pendant that will be offered for a limited time.  This is the symbol that the creators of Lost based their Dharma Initiative logo on.  The translation of Ba Gua is Eight Trigrams and represents the fundamental principles of reality; Heaven, Lake, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Water, Mountain and Earth. Each consists of three lines, each line either broken or unbroken representing yin or yang. Bagua zhang (eight trigram palm) is a martial art where "walking the circle" is the foundation of the eight palm movements.  This is an over simplification but you can google it if you are curious for more info.
I'm offering it in two different sizes (women and men) and can customize it if you like.  Personally, I wear it with the yin/yang symbol but if you want it to resemble the Dharma logo I can do that too...just email me with the request.

New Rosary

I'm almost finished with another rosary and will be posting it to the site by this afternoon.  I will generally keep these on the site for about a week to give all of you a chance to purchase.  After about a week I will sell it to the local boutique that carries my jewelry where they are sold for considerably more money because I'm able to keep my online prices close to wholesale.  Email me if you're interested in this piece.

Today

It's a super gloomy day in Long Beach.  I'm not sure what happened to our supposedly amazing weekend weather we were supposed to have.  Maybe it's sunny elsewhere in Southern California but not here.  The good news is that the weather kept me inside so I was able to get some new pieces made and uploaded to the site.  I'm really excited about the children's I.D. bracelets.  I made some of these years ago for my friends twin girls and not quite sure why it took me so long to make more.  Check them out and more pieces in the New Arrivals section.

New work

I'm carving some new pieces today and should have them finished and posted by tomorrow.

Custom Rings

I've had a few people request custom text on the rings so now it's an option on the site.  Just write the text that you would like in the notes at checkout...within reason of course.  A great Mothers Day gift!

New prints

New pendants

Swarovski pearl rosary

I just finished another silver rosary made with Swarovski pearls and labradorite stone. I wired the entire piece by hand with sterling silver wire, time consuming but worth it.

Forever and plain ring

I finally finished a couple more rings.  They are simple bands, one is plain and the other has "Sempre" (forever in italian) carved into it.
