Monday Maker’s Minute: Fresh Stones, Fresh Inspiration!

Happy Monday! I

’m buzzing with excitement because look what just arrived in the studio — a stunning new batch of stones from Jeff at Stone Shapers Designs!

These beauties are a mix of Dahlia Rose (that deep, moody red with dreamy pink swirls and golden veining — swoon!) and Nevada Variscite (those soft, minty greens with earthy matrix patterns — pure magic). I mean, just look at them! Each one feels like a tiny universe ready to be turned into something special.

The design wheels are already spinning. I can see bold cocktail rings, elegant cuffs with just the right rustic edge, eye-catching pendants that feel like wearable art, and perfectly paired earrings that bring a little drama in the best way.

It’s always such a thrill when a new batch of stones comes in — like a fresh palette waiting for the brush. Can’t wait to get these into some settings and onto the bench. Stay tuned for sneak peeks as the magic unfolds!

Have a creative week, friends 💎✨
