Sunset Glow

At dusk, a sky splashed with color blends soft golden rays with sweeping clouds of caramel and coral. Sun-kissed bronze reflections glisten across a lake creating a peaceful moment where the whole atmosphere glows in pure pleasure. 


The subtle expression of color in these pieces of jewelry is reminiscent to the gentleness that nature displays as it ever so smoothly sinks the sun below the horizon. Shimmering Oregon sunstone, soft smoky quartz and lustrous pearls reflect the mood of this quiet, serene beach at the end of long day. Add it to your wardrobe on a day you need a touch of sun and let the relaxation begin.

Sunflower Spirit

Yellow and Orange hues bring cheer to our days, drawing us in like bees to flowers' sweet nectar. Imagine an expansive field of sunflowers and feel your spirit soar. Their big charming faces brighten up the garden everyday they are in bloom and spread pure joy! Add sunflower radiance to your wardrobe and welcome the essence of laughter & pleasure into your life.

"A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition."

THE WILD SUNFLOWER

At early dawn, like soldiers in their places,
Rank upon rank the golden sunflowers stand;
Gazing toward the east with eager faces,
Waiting, until their god shall touch the land
To life and glory, longingly they wait,
Those voiceless watchers at the morning's gate.

Dawn's portals tremble silently apart;
Far to the east, across the dewy plain,
A glory kindles that in every heart
Finds answering warmth and kindles there again;
And rapture beams in every radiant face
Now softly glowing with supernal grace.

And all day long that silent worship lasts,
And as their god moves grandly down the west,
And every stem a lengthening shadow casts
Toward the east, ah, they love him best,
And watch till every lingering ray is gone,
Then slowly turn to greet another dawn.

~Albert Bigelow Paine



“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.
It's what sunflowers do.”

Heavenly

The soft blue sky envelops us, taking us on a journey that starts at the cool aqua dawn and ends at the edge of a calm, golden lit horizon. As children lay in grassy fields imagining cloud sailboats floating through the sky, young lovers watch sun rays pour out of a cloud covered sky atop a picnic blanket in the county.

Larimar or blue pectolite's beautiful blue color is often considered to embody the beautiful blue colors of the sky and sea. It is an extremely rare gemstone found only in one location: a mountainous, relatively inaccessible area in the province of Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Also called the Atlantis Stone, Larimar, has been linked to the lost continent of Atlantis and been claimed by metaphysical experts to be one of the best healing stones. 

Colored, like turquoise (for which it is often mistaken) by copper, the stone has a magnificently speckled, sometimes web-like blue and white appearance that makes it seem as if a piece of sky fell to earth and was set in jewelry. This vista-like, scenic quality is quite unique making it a delightful and attractive stone for jewelry.

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire,
 which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity,
but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.”
