SMOKEY CITRINE

Announcing our THIRD jewelry class where you will learn to make your own genuine gemstone stretch bracelets or copper beaded cuff! The stretch bracelet class is for any experience level and any age. The copper beaded cuff requires you to work with pliers, therefore you'll need a bit more skill to create this design. Pick one or the other! We'll be there to instruct you.

No matter who you are, if this class seems like fun to you we encourage you to register. We will be hosting in the Shaw Gathering Space at The Village Arts Factory - where our very own Studio 12 is located. Please register no later than March 17, so we have enough time to gather materials for you. The class will begin on at 6pm and go until 7pm on March 24. The feature gemstones you can make bracelets with are Carnelian & Pyrite. These are two stones are full of bold energy and should be part of your collection. Lets make some fun jewelry together! <3 

Happy November!! It feels right to share our most recent catalog page of orange hued crystals for autumn. Each gemstone is wrapped in copper wire and tape then electro-formed into copper pendants and attached to solid copper chains with accent beads to match. This selection features Hematoid Quartz, Singing Tangerine Quartz, and Carnelian Chunks. 

Orange is a vibrant, bold, and attention grabbing color which is why it's one of our favorite colors. It's that color pop you put on to boost your mood or add that extra UMPH to your confidence. Orange is playful which is an energy we NEED if we want to get through moments that are too serious. 

What gives these orange crystals their vivid color? 
Minerals included in the crystals formation or encrusted on the surface of the crystal:
Iron or Iron Oxide, aka Hematite.

We are beyond excited to announce our April Birthstone Collection featuring Herkimer Diamond Quartz Crystals sourced by our hands in the USA. We have traveled to Central New York for the last two years sourcing these gorgeous gemstones directly to create the most exciting jewelry for you. These gemstones are double terminated, crystal clear, and formed right here in the USA! 

Instead of working with the traditional April Birthstone, we decided to employ Herkimer Diamond Quartz. Herkimer Diamond Quartz rivals the diamond in beauty, natural form, and luminance. What does double terminated mean? This term refers to the points on each end of the crystal. You may have seen a crystal point in your life. It usually has a point on one end and the other end is more raw or rugged because it's been plucked from the host stone. The host stone is also known as the Matrix. Herkimer Diamonds are unique because their formations have points on both sides, meaning double terminated. 

Citrine read the Herkimer Diamond Quartz entry from The Book of Stones on her youtube channel. You can listen to this crystal reading by clicking here. Herkimer refers to ONE of the areas in Central New York where these fabulous gemstones are found and mined for. The term 'Diamond' in the name is reference to the stunning and nearly perfect crystal shapes these gems form in, directly out of the earth. We kid you not, you can crack open the host stone and pick up a perfectly shaped crystal that's also optically clear! Many times without washing or cleaning the surfaces. Some of these crystals have black inclusions which create a wonderful cosmic aesthetic with sparkles and rainbows. The Herkimer Diamond Quartz is truly magnificent and that is exactly why we created these jewels for you to wear.
