new aquamarine simple hammered ring
Originally uploaded by esjewelry
I just listed this ring with March’s birthstone, aquamarine, one of my favorite stones. It’s a small stone (4 mm) on a relatively substantial hammered band, polished to a high shine.

pink tourmaline & gold ring
Originally uploaded by esjewelry
My favorite new ring! I’ve been making these little rings since 2007 but mostly in silver. This year I thought I’d make a limited number in gold, in time for Valentine’s Day. The 2 mm band has a simple organic hammered pattern around three sides, and the stone is a 5 mm pink tourmaline in the highest grade. The stones I have are all slightly different colors, but all are shades of vibrant deep pink.

New Items
These are the first of a handful of new items coming this month.
Simple leaf textured sterling silver charm necklace and earrings
Fused twig rings and bangles in sterling silver
Extra long pool necklace, and a bracelet
and a little pearl pendant necklace. I didn’t realize there were so many- I have at a few more coming, probably toward the end of the month.

New Weddings Section
Originally uploaded by esjewelry
I’ve added two new items to a new weddings section, a Moissanite and sterling silver engagement ring and the birch bark ring as a set. I’m very grateful to the customer who first ordered a Moissanite set in the pine branch- because it’s something that I guess you need to see to experience- it’s very brilliant, which is a great contrast with the organic setting. So I ordered several of them and I hope to offer the 4.5 mm moissanite stone with other twig textures soon. Also coming soon is a larger and thicker version of the birch bark ring. I plan to offer it in two different widths to best accomodate larger and smaller sizes. I’m working on another new item, a pine cone, something I’ve been trying to accomplish for a long time. Hopefully it will be in my shop by the end of the January.

featured seller on etsy
I was so excited to be featured seller on Etsy for two days this week (10/27 and 10/28). I think I’ve had around 150 orders since then- it was a challenge to get everything shipped out since I don’t have any help, but most orders shipped the same or next day. I’m just lucky I had more pieces ready to ship in preparation for the holidays!

Part of a series of tiny necklaces- half inch charms on my favorite new chain, a 1 mm rolo. Very comfortable!

honeycomb ring
Originally uploaded by esjewelry
Here’s the honeycomb ring in its final version. I thought about making it a wide band, alternating rows of 2 and 3, but this way it’s much more comfortable for every day. I will probably make some pendants too.

honeycomb ring
Originally uploaded by esjewelry
Preview of a new item- the honeycomb ring is made of fused argentium sterling silver. My favorite part of making this ring was fusing the band to the top. This one has mistakes- the rings fused incompletely or opened up (which I like) but the final version will be solid. It’s labor intensive to get the honeycomb section perfect so I’ll be making these in limited quantities.

water casting + enamel!
Originally uploaded by esjewelry
What could be better than water casting… water casting with pool blue enamel? And a few little hammer marks.
