Wedding ring 2.0

So, for all the followers that aren't in the know, about 2 years ago my wife put on her wedding ring too soon after giving birth to our second kid and in order to save her finger the ring was sacrificed..... This is her new ring. Its not quite ready yet but its Platinum and 18KY Gold with white and yellow Diamonds. I have lots of pictures of the process and I will make a video of the making of 2.0 until then, enjoy.

Deer Antler Necklace

Sometime ago I decided to start over, so to speak.

While "starting over" I spent some time thinking about what could I use to make jewelry from that was not used in typical jewelry of today, but was used in the past. I came up with Deer Antlers. As luck would have it, I had some in the basement. I took this one to work and made a necklace with it, 14KY gold, and some tsavorite (green garnet), enjoy.

Hope you all have a great day..

NEW BABY!!! NEW STORE!!!

So it has been sometime since my last post, and lots of new stuff. First, my third child was born at 7lb 10oz little girl. She looks like mom!  The new Swifts was designed by yours truely. So if your store needs a face lift..... I do that too.
I hope to post more than I do, but until the next time...
