⚡️ Stop in this weekend to see Mack & Co. Boutique's NEW LOCATION at 204 Elk St. and permanent jewelry. These handmade Herkimer Quartz connectors have incredible clarity!

These ladies were sweet enough to let me snap a few photos just now at our Mother's Day event happening until 3pm. Mixed metals are 20% off today, and they didn't pass up this special!

Lately I've been trying out different types of texture on sterling using rocks. Meet the Geode Studs, the first experiment in the new geologic category.

❤ Happy Anniversary to this lovely couple! They came in to an event at Mack & Co. Boutique recently for a more durable upgrade from a rope style bracelet with magnetic initial charms to matching sterling silver chains. The original rope wasn't holding up well and they really wanted to keep wearing these charms on a more durable material. We were happy to be a part of their history in sharing many years of love for each other by making these permanent. Have a wonderful day you two, and may many years of love follow!

Dragonfly wings are so beautifully detailed.

⚡️ Huge shoutout to Sweetwater County! Last Saturday, I was a vendor at the 44th Annual Gail Hill Memorial Craft Fair for the first time. Your support for my handmade jewelry business was astonishing! I appreciate each and every one of you who stopped at my booth. Whether you made a handmade jewelry purchase from me, awed over my imprinting technique, stopped to check things out or simply came by to say hello, THANK YOU! Your support fuels me in so many ways!

Thank you to Rhonda who snapped this photo, and of course Mack & Co Boutique/Wyoming Freight Company for sending her to help promote not only me but the other amazing vendors from her stores attending this event. I was far to busy to even think about selfies!

Allison, this event was super cool! Thank you for all your hard work in making this happen year after year! See you next year.

Special thanks to my husband, who was there helping me after working all week. For those of you who don't know, he works most events with me and claims, "I just move stuff". You do so much more than this! THANK YOU! ❤

Eyes Horsehair Earrings. Can you see the eyes?

🐰The Rabbitbrush Earrings feature an imprint from a member of the aster family. Historically, Rabbitbrush was used to make dye, tea, and chewing gum. It can be an important browse for mule deer, pronghorn and rabbits in the fall and winter.

Look closely, these blooms have some funky detail!

⚡️ 14k GREEN GOLD! 😍 How spectacular is this rare find?

Seminoe is now offering 14k Gold in Green, Rose and Yellow for permanent jewelry! Although commonly referred to as 14k "solid gold", this is not an accurate statement. Anything below 24k, is an alloy. 14k Gold consists of 14 parts gold to ten parts other metals. This adds strength, as pure 24k is too soft and impractical for everyday wear without issues. Each color variation has it's own unique recipe. The magic metal that is responsible for green gold's color is Silver!

If you like this look, just wait until you see it next to 14k Rose & Yellow Gold!

A custom Mule Deer earring set from late September. The sample from a Green River customer was very different from any other type of hair I have worked with. I chose the kinky, thicker strands. They were quite soft in texture and are often described as hollow. But, these are not hollow like a straw. Each strand is filled with hundreds of microscopic air pockets that serve as insulation in the severe cold. The air also makes the hair float, being useful for fly tying.

🐎 My horsehair techniques have come a long way. The largest piece (first picture) of necklaces I made last week, is an imprint of a horsehair finger wave. I have always loved the century old hairstyle, and cannot believe I made an impression of such in sterling silver with horsehair.

🦋 These butterfly wing imprint earrings with spots are made using the same method I use in my Trout Collection. Look at that twist on the first set! They sold at an event last weekend. The other three pairs are available on my website. Thank you Lander, what a show that was! ❤ It is always a treat to come back to my home town.

Indian Paintbrush Earrings! This imprint really pops and I especially like the little curl of flora at the bottom.

Custom imprinted Cloud Connector! This customer wanted a special connector for permanent jewelry with dog hair from her two beloved canines. She also loves clouds and South Korea. After pressing the hair and adding patina, I engraved some Korean style swirls that would enhance the shape. This turned our pretty cool, as the swirls reflect catching your eye with highlights, while the imprints have a patina adding depth behind them.

- SOLD - The Rolling Hills Horsehair Necklace shows an endless, familiar scene found all around our state.

One of the tiniest wings I have ever pressed, Wasp Wing Studs.

Sterling silver pendant with an Aspen leaf imprint on a lightweight necklace chain.

Custom elk ivory jewelry! For an August wedding, I used the ivories from a bull this bride shot the year her husband proposed. She had custom shoes made for ultimate comfort, making it a total vibe with an heirloom elk ivory ring as her something old. ❤

SOLD - A rare occasion, when I was successful in using the same sample twice for an almost identical set. If you look closely, you can see small differences from inevitable shifting of the hair placement. Once an organic items has been pressed with such force, it is usually destroyed.

- SOLD - 🦋 Butterfly wing imprints in sterling silver with bezel set garnets.

Lupine leaf imprints with centered, fine silver embellishments. Oh summer, I already miss you so.

A custom dog hair set for a canine lover in Casper. Love that she even ordered matching studs to compliment her necklace.

A custom order of a Trout Band & two Rustic Vine rings soldered together as one. This trio was a very exciting request I had the pleasure of making, and I have fallen in LOVE! ❤ ❤ ❤
