🌸 Ode to Spring Ring 🌸 ———————

🌸 Ode to Spring Ring 🌸
——————————————————

Cheers to everyone who called out ring sizes in my last post!

It is so heartwarming to know there are so many soft, springtime souls out there. We are kindreds, indeed!

This week I will be finishing up the ring bands for lots more rings like this one.

If you'd like to make one in your size to be available during the release, hop back over to my last post and leave a comment with your size.

I am writing them down as I go, and once I respond to your comment, you will know I have jotted your size down!

🌸 Collection Release Date TBA 🌸

(Image description: A sterling silver ring that features a soft pink rose quartz, faceted to pull the light and glow from within, set in an undulating bezel, scalloped like a flower. Below the gemstone is a small cherry blossom with a warm brass center. To either side, brass granules like clumps of pollen gathered by a honeybee. The band has been lightly textured to give the ring an organic feel, and to resemble tree bark. I decided to give the ring a matte texture, soft and bright as a cherry blossom. Simple and sweet, like a singular cherry blossom. A daily reminder of the warmth of spring.)

Here is the ring design, sweet friends!

It features a soft pink rose quartz, faceted to pull the light and glow from within, set in an undulating bezel, scalloped like a flower.

Below the gemstone is a small cherry blossom with a warm brass center. To either side, brass granules like clumps of pollen gathered by a honeybee.

The band has been lightly textured to give the ring an organic feel, and to resemble tree bark. I decided to give the ring a matte texture, soft and bright as a cherry blossom.

Simple and sweet, like a singular cherry blossom. A daily reminder of the warmth of spring.

I have not finished the bands for the rest of the rings yet, so if this sweet little ring calls to you, call out your ring size below, and I will try to make as many as I can! (These fit true to size.)

🌸Another Sneak Peak 🌸
——————————————————
At the moment, my bench is all pink softness. Sterling flower petals and rose quartz the color of cherry blossoms.

These are the makings of a handful of cuff bracelets.

The band will be textured like bark, rippled and smooth.

A smooth gemstone, some oval, some teardrops, will sit atop of the band.

And on either side of it will be silver cherry blossoms with brass centers, and two liquidy rose quartz gemstones, faceted to pull the light.

Soon, sweet friends! My shop shelves will be festooned with cherry blossom branches made of hammered sterling silver and soft rose quartz blooms!

Keep an eye out for a call for ring sizes. I just finished the sweetest little ring sample, and have not finished the bands for the rest yet.

At the moment on the bench, everything is springtime soft and smells of wild fruit trees.

Couldn't you just bathe in rose quartz?? Dunk yourself in cherry blossom bubbles and sunshine infused water?

I have no doubt you'd come out glowing and smelling a treat.

🌸🌸🌸
 Also, while I work on this new collection, I am also finishing up a few secret drops of previous designs!

If you would like first crack at them, keep an eye on my Instastories and sign up for the newsletter, because that's how I will let you know when and where to find them.

🌸 Sawing Blooms & a Note about the Rings 🌸
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I will be seeing little sterling cherry blossoms whenever I close my eyes for weeks!
🌸
I have sawn perhaps 150 of these sweet little blooms, and I can not wait to sprinkle them around the softest pink rose quartz you've ever seen.
🌸
Also, keep an eye out here for a call for ring sizes! I have finished the sample ring, and am hoping to put up a photo in within the week.
🌸
And if it calls to you, let me know your ring size so I can try to have all the right sizes available during the release.
🌸
Stay tuned for a collection release date!

🌸 Sneak Peak & Springtime Goals 🌸
——————————————————
🌸 Going forward, I will try my darnedest to document the work and share progress updates with you more often.

🌸 Collections have a way of utterly consuming me. They are like tremendous, beautiful waves that sweep me off my feet and toss me back on the sand a few miles up the beach. And then I have to run back to where you are, hollering "I have made some beautiful things for you!"

🌸 I know periods of radio silence is not helpful for your consistently seeing my posts. (Apologies to the handful of people who reached out about totally missing the garnet collection. One thing I do, which has been helpful, is going to the "Following" option on the home page of Instagram every few days, and giving some love to the accounts that I don't want to miss posts from.)

🌸 So, here's a sneak peak at the next collection! Soft undulating bezels, springtime rose quartz, hammered branches, and each piece will be festooned with wild cherry blossoms.

A handful of lovelies in widely varying sizes and shapes! ❤️

• Necklaces made from deep red smooth garnet gemstones set in inverted heart bezels of sterling silver, surrounded by a beaded accents, and little silver rosebuds, hidden in the shadows on the backs of each pendant.

• I will have a listing for each individual necklace, which will include photos of each pendant being held, as well as next to an American quarter for size reference.

• Each are suspended from a 17-20" adjustable cable chain.
 • I have sorted the necklaces into three categories, as measured from the top of the pendant to the bottom: Small (22mm - 29mm), Medium (30mm - 39mm), and Large (40mm+) for quicker selecting!

• If you sort the page alphabetically, it should group all the sizes together, as well as sort the rings by size. ❤️
