Stones speak a language of their own.  When you find one with the perfect grasp on your soul - the color, the shape, the patterns or shine - embrace it.  We set it in silver or copper and put it out here to find you.

OCTOBER SPOTLIGHT

“My favorite color is October.” – Unknown

The sky is a special kind of blue when Autumn sends her first Chill.    Apples baking in the oven, cinnamon, and spice scent the air.  It's a warm and cozy kind of feeling.  Feel the leaves crunching beneath your feet.    This collection brings some of the late summer vibes and the first hints of Autumn.
