past work
vega ring - 2018
the vega rings are special, this one features damele turquoise from nevada. this is one of those stones I still think about and only kind of regret parting with. I love making this ring design despite how challenging it can be for me sometimes - the ring band in brass can be finnicky when I am soldering it.
red shift earrings with stones - 2018
the red shift earrings were a retired earring design from 2015 reimagined. I stopped making these earrings because I honestly found them frustrating to make. my sister asked me to make them again for her but with stones, and these were the result - I ended up flipping the horseshoe shape upside down to accommodate the stones on the top. I was also excited to make another design with hook ear wires, something I don’t do as often as I would like.
deneb necklace - 2017
deneb necklaces are some of my favorites to make - I love choosing the stones and I love making them the star of the piece. this particular one was a favorite, it features new lander turquoise from nevada. I’d say this type of necklace is also peak becca aesthetic. I love a delicate box chain and an interesting stone. this is a definite wear everyday kind of necklace.
husk earrings - 2020
these earrings are one of a kind. they feature kingman turquoise from arizona and recycled sterling silver. I often make one of a kind pieces that match a particular collection - these are from the ‘held’ release. I love that these stones aren’t a perfect match, but at the same time, they are!
fae earrings - 2021
these sweet little earrings feature turquoise from the turquoise mountain mine in nevada. I love mixing metals - most of this design uses yellow brass, the stones are set with fine silver bezel wire and the components are joined together by sterling silver jump rings.
arcturus ring - 2015
this ring was one of the first I made when I began setting stones. the delicate double bands bring a nice balance to the larger stones used for this design. this particular ring pictured features beautiful green turquoise from the royston mine in nevada.
crocus earrings - 2020
during the beginning of the covid 19 shelter in place orders, I began playing with beads again.
when I first started making jewelry I used to use vintage and stone beads paired with brass, but once I taught myself how to solder and work with silver, my work evolved some. but! I missed the color beads add, so these earrings are a sort of return to what I used to do. the hammered silver circles are complimented by vintage carnelian and lavender lucite beads.
turquoise hoops - 2016
every time i make a pair of these, i want to keep them for myself. some of my favorites, like the pair pictured to the left, have featured new lander turquoise and variscite from nevada. these earrings have a delicate hoop that moves freely within a small metal tube that’s attached to a round turquoise cabochon.
triple dot posts - 2016
these cuties were a part of the same collection as the turquoise hoops above. i still make these earrings from time to time! the ones shown on the left were made in 2022 using yellowish new lander turquoise. the turquoise and silver ‘dots’ are about 4mm in diameter. the dots are made with fine silver that i recycle myself from bezel scraps.
the negative space ring no.1 - 2014
this was the first ring i made when i started teaching myself how to solder! and i still wear it everyday! it was also a part of a series of three different designs that focused on negative space; hence the name/title. the ring is delicate yet bold and is quite comfortable to wear. it’s also a sweet little object that casts fun shadows.
