Hand Crafted, Unique, Semi Precious, Jewels
I have always had an affinity for stones and rocks and agates and the like. I recall it was in the 5th grade when I was gifted my first rock tumbler and was introduced to the lapidary world! Now being in the 5th grade, although I found lapidary interesting it was no match for girls and bikes and fishing and things that don’t take so long to see results. My interest was rekindled many years later when my life took a dramatic change of course and I found myself in much slower waters. It was there, in my first Reiki session, when I came to know the subtle powers of the stones and crystals of Mother Earth. Although I had yet to fully realize the magnitude of the impact this was going to make on my life, somehow I knew this was my path. It was a handful of years ago that I found myself in Los Angeles and joined the Culver City Rock and Mineral Club. As a mechanic and machinist by trade, it was natural for me to begin to repair the grinders and saws in the club. In exchange, the longstanding members passed on their wisdom in the ways of stones and how to form them. Gradually I began to set up my own shop, and cabs began to pile up on every open surface. I needed to find a way to display these cabs so they could be enjoyed! Again those at the club were more than helpful with instruction and knowledge. That and a few You tube videos and you would think I had been doing this for years! Turns out I’m a natural at silver smithing, go figure! Working with the stones themselves is a privilege. Holding them, studying their characteristics, engaging with their energies guides my process. The stones direct my decisions about how to slab cut them, where to place a shape and create a cab. Polishing, buffing, my use of pure silver to set them, and working to the finished piece is for me a meditative process providing its own rewards. This is my calling, revealing the essence in each stone through cutting, grinding, polishing, and wrapping in the cleanest of settings, so you may experience the magic of Mother Earth. My passion for creating these beautiful jewels grows with each one I create. I hope you enjoy the fruits of my passion as much as I enjoy creating them. Love and Light |
