Echo*

Once again, I went super high-tech with this line. Sheet wax and screwdriver bits. Oh, and a drywall plug.

It turned out rather well though, and, like the Evolve* series, can be worn multiple ways. That's right- it's REVERSIBLE!
One side is very organic,
the other very modern and geometric- an 'echo' of the first side.
There are 2 pendants Earrings. Technically these are reversible, but since you need to bend the earwire to flip them it's easier to specify which design you would prefer facing forward
Band rings.
Don't be fooled by the 2 pictures- they're the same rings. I just thought I should continue with the double layout. And I thought maybe the backgrounds worked to highlight each side of the design; the defined geometric vs. soft organic.Anyways....
Unfortunately it's pretty hard to bend silver (and re-attach it), so you are forced to choose which pattern you prefer. Both patterns are also available on a wide band if you ask nicely.
The wide band.
It's a little less than double the width of the other band
Wrap rings.
A wide one and a not so wide one. The wider of the two is slightly flared at both ends to help prevent the dreaded 'my wide-band-ring-is stuck-now-my-finger-looks-like-a-snausage' phenomenon.
Oh, and at this time the wrap rings are only available in the organic version.
*** There is also a bracelet (sorry! The pic is coming) If you can picture the earring pieces as links in a chain that encircles your wrist.... That the bracelet.
Lovely, isn't it?

Pure*

Roundness. Circles and Holes.
A balancing of form and line, shape and space.
Recognition of the beauty in a void.

So simple.


So elegant.
This is the quite stunning link necklace. Approximately 18" long. Every link handmade.A single link from the larger necklace, strung on a sterling cable chain. It's the beauty of a dewdrop vs. a deluge. The accompanying bracelet.
A lovely and very unique ring.


the band which encircles your finger begins outside the drop and terminates inside. it sound odd, but it looks great and fits beautifully.




The drop earrings.

The rest of the drop earrings. Which you'll notice are studs. And yes, I give full credit to Tim Hortons and their timbits for opening my eyes to the brilliant concept of using the leftovers- the holes. Yet another use for the 'holes'.

These are stem earrings.


They look like little flowers in your ears. The post, or stem, has a gentle curve which both looks good and holds the earring securely in place- eliminating the need for a keeper. These are available with a smooth bowl or with a centre ball (which adds to the flower effect) in silver, or with a black patina.



Folk*


A celebration of connection and community.

A way to wear your heart on your sleeve.


An ego boost. Whatever decisions you make you will always be supported by a silent majority.

Personally, I think they're just super cool and small and incredibly detailed and it makes me smile when I wear them.
A different look at the bracelet pictured above. 6 people. Backgroound can be bright sterling or oxidized (blue/black)

Rings.

Either on a supporting backpiece (the round bit behind the people) or Open-backed.

The charm bracelet.

With close-ups

Earrings. Can be of the stud or hook variety.
Necklaces usually come with two people of my choosing, but you can always ask me for one, a unique two, or a whole crew of peeps (that one might cost a little more).

This makes a pretty special personalized gift- think weddings, anniversaries, new family members, or what-have-you.

Excite*

2 am.
No power.
A block of carving wax and a steel file.

Magic.
The A.D. ring
Rings from size 4-10
A Beautifully heavy bracelet.

It's always so nice to be able to feel what you're wearing.



earrings. Obviously.
Pendants.



A variety of shapes to suit. Alas, they don't all come together like this, it's simply a display device. Each one does come with a super heavy sterling silver snake chain though.



I really like this series. it's solid and has a sense of weight and strength to it, and yet is still somehow bright and energetic. If a Mark Rothko painting had a late night rendevouz with a Jackson Pollock this might be the result.
