The Stone and Bone Collection

Psst… Let me let you in on a Secret

Before the jewelry, before working with copper, even before designing t-shirts and resin artwork, I had a first love- lapidary art. This art form, that has it’s roots in antiquity involves the cutting, engraving, and polishing gemstones and smaller stones into works of art. Faceting gemstones, carving small figurines, or making cabochons all fall into this category.

And while I have expanded over the years into other areas, I’ll never forget your my first love. So, I decided to share yet another passion with you. On this page, you’ll find examples of my lapidary work – some small, some a little larger. All will be for sale, so if you find something that speaks to your heart, you know what to do.
