Recent Work

A few new pieces as of late.

The first to show is this beautiful rose cut ruby engagement ring I recently had the honor of making. Set in shining 18K white gold, a hefty bezel surrounds the stone, which sits on top of my waving, organic shaped Rugged band.

New ring boxes with my logo. I am expanding my branding to all my packaging. I will be using the fleur in my logo more and more instead of my whole logo that encompasses my name.
These awesome boxes are perfect for popping the question and are
included in any purchase of $250 or more.
Also on the way are new 'jewelry care' cards that give tips on how best to care for your new jewelry, which will go in every package.

My new ring boxes.
 


Moonstone, beautiful moonstone. Now offering both 14K yellow and 14K white gold options, in the original 'dainty' size and an upgraded more substantial metal size. I can also custom make these in 18K white or yellow gold, too!

Raw Beauty

 
Sometimes a stone comes along and there is absolutely no need to design anything around it in metal. The stone itself is so stunningly beautiful on its own that anything more would take that away.

This raw, lightly tumbled chrysocolla is one of those stones.

What you may not know is that before I began my path as a metalsmith, I was on an explorative path in the science of geology. Rocks just get to me. The fact that the earth makes something like this over thousands, millions, of years is mind boggling and just...incredible.

This is one of those pieces where that comes out in full force. Where the coincidence (or destiny? Fate?) of my last name, Freestone, is kind of brought to the surface, put on display, to examine and wonder about, much like this beautiful rock.


So, this necklace. :)
