I’m finally back in the studio working after almost two months away and it feels pretty great. I bought these rose cut garnets in September and wasn’t sure I’d like working with tiny faceted stones like this so I started with some small, simple ideas. However, the verdict is in. I’m a fan. They’re precious stones. Luminous pomegranate seeds. Slips of bedazzlement. And in such wondrous, juicy hues. Look at that color! I set these stones on heavy 16ga sterling so even though they’re tiny pendants, they have a really pleasant weight to them.

These are the Petit Bateau Necklaces — little boats to float your hopes. They’ll be in my shop on the 20th of November.

  1. Those are gorgeous, as is the previous pic of the 2 horses… thanks for sharing! 🙂 Yesterday morning here in upstate NY at dawn the whole sky was reddish pink, then orange, then golden for a good 10 minutes, it was amazing! This really is a beautiful time of year, as the bones of the trees come through the slanted sunlight and the last of the leaves rattle their way down to sleep. Hey I think I might have a poem started here :0

    • Katy! Thank you. It has been so beautiful here this week, too. Cold and crisp and lovely. The garden is down now which really opens up my days again, I can toil in a different direction, run longer, squander extra time on my horses who are pure velvet fuzz now.

      More poems from you please.
