Ten years ago, I discovered a love for adventuring. My adventures took me to the top of mountains, through deep forests, up and down canyons and along ocean shorelines. Every time I stepped into the outdoors, the natural beauty would take my breath away. Nature is amazing and gorgeous, without any assistance by humans. My young daughter loves to look at pictures from our past adventures and point out the amazing natural color compositions. Using her color compositions, I started making jewelry inspired by the moments that filled me with awe, because we can’t always be in nature but we can always carry her beauty.

Some of our favorite gemstones.
Nature does beauty better than anyone. Her amazing landscapes provide inspiration for our jewelry and her natural gemstones are all we need to recreate these beautiful landscapes in our product. We work hard to use only natural gemstones as much as possible.
Lapis Lazuli
Our current favorite stone, Lapis is known for its intense blue color. It is a metamorphic rock colored by Lazurite (Sodalite) as well as Pyrite and Calcite. Lapis is thought to help open the third eye and is considered to be a stone of wisdom.
Labradorite
Best known for its iridescent properties, labradorite can be found in many colors ranging from light grey, to yellow or brown. Each crystal is unique and it is one of our favorite stones to include in jewelry.
Lepidolite
Lepidolite is a member of the mica group and owes its amazing purple hues to its manganese content. Lepidolite also has a high lithium content, and is thought to have an impact on mood regulation. Because of its calming properties, Lepidolite is known as the “grandmother stone”.
Obsidian
An igneous rock, obsidian is volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly with no crystal growth. Smooth and brittle, obsidian forms sharp edges when broken. Early humans commonly used pieces of obsidian as tools.
Chalcedony
Chalcedony is a member of the quartz group and is comprised of crystals so small they are not visible to the naked eye. Chalcedony is a translucent stone and can be found in many vibrant colors. We love Blue Chalcedony, which is found lining geodes, and is a light blue and grey color. Chalcedonies are a popular stone for rock collectors due to their colors and availability. Agate is a banded, translucent chalcedony, while Jasper is an opaque chalcedony. Other types of chalcedony that we love to use are Onyx and Carnelian.
