asymmetrical sapphire engagement ring

this was the most enjoyable collaboration piece i have ever done. i was contacted by the most rad fella really early this year and we got the ball rolling chatting up stones, details, metal, design for an engagement ring for his special gal.  after 70+ emails back and forth to decipher the best approach and design for his special ring. this is what we came up with!!!!! i love the asymmetry and the use of the raw, organic sapphire along with the faceted sapphire. i hope they love it as much as i do. all the best to you two on your adventures together!!! thanks for choosing me to make this unique ring!

essential...

i having been doing research on essential oils. i just came across this brand of oils and then the other day our midwife gave me some essential oil to try to help me get rid of my current suffering with the high levels of mold here in austin. uggggg!!!! BUT, it was the same company....what???? i took that as a sign to order some to give em a try since her oil sample was so helpful to me. i am excited to get them. have you ever tried doterra oils. they have pretty amazing healing properties and are really high quality. i'm gonna give em a whirl.

quick meal...noodles

whole wheat noodles: cook as usual, drain and put in large bowl, add a big splash of olive oil, about 3/4 - 1 cup of nutritional yeast, several splashes of braggs apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. stir!!!! the amounts of the ingredients can be adjusted to taste but this is how i like it...pretty tangy and zesty!! yumm!!!!

the most beautiful palest pink hue in this morganite stone...i am quite smitten with this ring!! it's very sweet. the color of the stone makes it have a very delicate and timeless feel but it's still a smidge funky with the oxidized sterling :) you can find it here
