A new Melancholy Mistress Necklace. I haven’t made a version of this necklace in ages but started this specific design on Monday when I had a serious case of the blues. The main pendant body is a hollow form (!!!HEART!!!) with a sweet flower silhouette on the surface. Dropping down from the hollow form is a sterling spear with a bezel set handsome, teal fluorite which is flanked by a piece of coral on a silk strand and a wee ivory pearl. The piece wears long — just like the originals did — with a 20 inch chain and a pendant drop of nearly 5 inches. So romantic, dark, and kind of brightly forbidden. Right?
An Idaho Ring built of sterling and Prudent Man Agate. I love working with this stone. It’s incredibly unique and is mined from the Prudent Man Idaho claim making this piece 100% Idaho crafted. Magic. Take a look at the first shot of this ring and you’ll catch a glimpse of the depth of the landscape in this stone. Translucent sections of agate give way to swirling dendrites in sage green and peach hues. Amazing. This rock lives. Additionally, this ring is perfectly weighted, balanced and so comfortable to wear. Perfect for a wild thing who doesn’t like her big jewelry to get in the way of the work of her paws.
Feather Feather Meriweather Earrings in sterling, pearl and divine texture. These are simple, classic beauties with a funky and organic edge. Perfect for wearing on your next fishing trip to an alpine lake.
It looks like we’re going to officially do our next shop update here on Friday. I’ll announce the time tomorrow! Thanks for all your warm welcome homes to RW yesterday. Wheeee!!! There’s been plenty of sassy banter around these parts this morning.
Now I’m off to discuss bathroom renovation plans with Robert…something something antique clawfoot tub…….

ooooh I love these new baubles!!!!
and SO HAPPY for you that you have your man back. Mine's currently in China for business and it makes my heart ache.
I hope the new renovations include plans to convert the shower into a living wall of ferns and other mist-oving beauties.
She: Yes. Yes you do. xx
Stacey: In China AGAIN???!!!! That's what you get for being an innovative man:) As for the wall of ferns, how did you know??? x
Love the earrings! I heart anything in the form of a leaf.
So happy he is back in your arms.

I am totally in love with the earrings! They are to die for…. I just love all of your photographs too..They look like they just came out of Anthropologie!
Health and happiness,
Angela
Those feathers/leaves BELONG on my ears!! I may forgo some food purchases if I can get to them in time! Gorgeous.
Lovely work! I love hearing your descriptions of what the pieces mean to you. Your energy defintely resonates in them. (Currently wearing the tiny-shiney necklace and get soooo many complements on it!)
That necklace is just too perfect.
um, i'm pretty sure those earrings belong to me. maybe you weren't aware that they were mine when you made them, but my ears are leaning idaho-ward to try to get closer to them. that is all. well, that and i love you and miss you and hope you're still coming home this fall!! you need to check out this epic belly!
ps the wee monster in my uterine depths says i need the earrings too. he told me so by kicking me 5 times in succession while i was writing the previous comment
Is there such a thing as a prudent man!?! 😉 Your mistress is divine!
…something something jeaslousofclawfoottubsoaking!!! {hugs}
…well you just better make that a clawfoot (for 2!) in Chartreuse!
i hate it when your work makes me feel materialistic, but i really do love those pearly feather earrings. sigh.
I'm a silly goose for chartreuse!
So glad RW has returned to soothe your soul. He sounds like a wonderful man.
Your enamel work is always just so lovely, and these make me feel all full of autumn goodness.
Also — did you make that lovely tank top you are wearing? So pretty!
…it looks like I need to make more pearly feather earrings…..:) Thank you all, so very much, for these extremely lovely comments.
I'm going to put RW on the hunt for a chartreuse clawfoot tub!
And Fawnling, this tank top is actually a hand-me-down from a friend of mine in Chicago! But I believe that Hende (on Etsy) made it originally!
Oh good gracious, these are all quite stupefying in their deliciousness!! Lucky ladies who claim these beauties.
i don't know what's happening with this wall of ferns, but i'd like to know more as it sounds like something from my world too…
found you via flickr and your prudent man ring. it's my dad's mine~thank you for continuing the fairy tale with your amazing work
