CharcoalandLace

In case you were wondering what our big announcement is and the reason for my absence the past several months…we are expecting! Our little cowgirl is due to join us Thanksgiving Day 2024!
👶🏻
Thank you for all of your patience and understanding as I’ve navigated pregnancy, a new 9-5 job, moving, selling a house, buying a house, and moving yet again. We aren’t done yet, but getting closer to getting settled in and awaiting the new arrival! We are beyond excited for our new addition and can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next!
👶🏻
Charcoal and Lace will still be around, but moving at a slower pace as I finish out the pregnancy and start to do life with a newborn. You can find most everything that’s available at both in Loveland and .mustard.seed.ltd in Eaton!

Hello! Yes I’m alive and well! I apologize for my long absence! Life has been completely turned upside down in the last 61/2 months but all for good reasons! Stay tuned for a very exciting announcement!!!
😊
In the meantime, check out my haul from the gem show this past weekend! Lots of stacker stones for the favorite stacking stone rings, amongst others I just couldn’t say no to.
😊
As always, thanks to all who have supported me in my absence and stuck around to see what’s next 🫶🏻

I know I’ve been very absent on here lately and I apologize! There are a lot of life changes happening around here, more of which I’ll share at a later date! In the meantime, this precious necklace was handcrafted by yours truly for a dear friend who recently gave birth to a sweet baby boy named C**t!

Swipe to see her wedding jewelry I made a few years ago. Fun fact…We stayed at the same adorable place in Buena Vista for her wedding and her baby shower and all pics of the jewelry were taken on the porch wood flooring outside our room 😊

Happy Saturday!!! Who here loves a big ole statement ring?! 🫶🏻 this GORGEOUS stone from can’t be beat! It’s one of a kind! If this is your jam, shes still available on the website! Size 6..

I hope each and every one of you can get outside today and enjoy some spring air…it’s good for the soul 😉

Oh spring time in Colorado! It’s always an adventure! Snow, sunshine, rain, and everything in between is what we are experiencing here. What’s it like where you are? Spring time yet?

Well this gorgeous faceted labradorite is the perfect spring piece! These stones are nearly impossible to photograph, it never does the stone justice compared to seeing them in person. This one is available on the website! Swipe to see pics or her on!

Happy Friday!!! Stacker rings for days over here! This batch went to .mustard.seed.ltd , so go check them out! They are open Thursdays through Saturdays in Eaton!

Today we are enjoying winter,finally, in CO! So far this winter we’ve had very little moisture, and a lot of very nice days. You won’t find me complaining about that, but my yard is sure happy to see some snow!

Although spring is in the air, it’s not here yet! At least not in CO. We have barely had a winter, so we are anxiously awaiting snow before we see a full spring.

For those of you still looking for that perfect gift for yourself or somebody else, look no further! This white Buffalo wild rag slide is one of my favorites to date! Pictures cannot do this stone justice, take it from me!

This beauty is on the website, check her out!

How many times have I shipped jewelry without getting proper pictures?! Too many to count! 🥴 this is a prime example. So excuse the background, but these simple beauties deserved a permanent spot on the grid.

This was a custom order for Christmas. Although they are all a bit different, the style is the same, which makes it extra fun!

Drop an emoji if you like this simple necklace style!

Happy Monday! I know, it’s hard to be happy about a Monday, but everyday that we wake up and the sun is up and the birds are chirping, is a happy day!

Is this not the cutest little necklace?! This sweet, simple turquoise piece is the perfect layering piece! You can add several other necklaces to dress it up, or wear it by itself for an everyday option. You can check out this little cutie at in Loveland!

Let’s talk a minute about boho western. This is my personal favorite style for so many reasons! I love to mix whimsical, free spirited ideas with traditional western looks. While this necklace doesn’t scream western, the outfit I’d pair it with sure would! Swipe to see the mood board I’d use to style this necklace.

This fun piece can be found at ! Go say hi to Tara this weekend and check out this beauty in person!

If I had to pick a favorite that I’ve made recently it would have to be this cutie. This fun shaped Sonoran geeen turquoise that I got from just begged for a unique setting. She’s lightweight and simply adorable and she’s available!!! Check her out on the website!

If I had to describe my favorite western design it would look something like this sweet cuff. Turquoise, texture, class, and color! My favorite elements to western design! I’m thinking shiny black cowboy boots, wranglers, a black sequin top, bright red lipstick…well you get the picture. Swipe for mood board and inspiration!

Happy Friday my friends!!! How about this white buffalo statement ring?! Isn’t that stone just gorgeous?! You can find this beauty at They are open everyday of the week, and have a bunch of cool CO vendors to buy wares from!

Make today a great day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! I hope everyone is having a blessed day! The day of love is here and will be gone tomorrow. I’m going to do my best to continue the loving spirit and see how long we can draw it out. Who’s with me?!

Only one of these beauties is still available on the website! However, I already have a heart collection planned for a little later in the year so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! Who celebrates and who doesn’t? Admittedly, I used to dislike it, but I realized at some point that it’s about love in all forms. It’s a great excuse to show everyone in your life a little extra love. Even a stranger you come across who could use a smile or a coffee.

Don’t be afraid to hope for chocolate and roses too if that’s your fancy 😊

This chunky heart necklace just sold, but I figured she deserves a spot on the grid. Who wants to see more heart designs?! The plan is to finish them for Mother’s Day since I ran out of time to finish them for Vday.

Did you all enjoy the Super Bowl? What was your favorite part? Which team are you on?
1. Die hard football fan team?
2. Rooting for Taylor’s bf team?
3. Here for the commercials team?
4. Loved the half time team?

In all reality, it doesn’t matter right?! We all come together once a year to watch football and eat junk food. Who could ask for a better winter Sunday?!

Now that we got that over with, how sweet is this turquoise cuff?! The Sonoran Green stone is a show stopper set atop a fun patterned silver setting. It’s available on the website! Check it out!

Raise your hand if you love green 🙋🏻‍♀️ believe it or not, this is turquoise! This piece is no longer available, but I think it deserved a permanent spot on the grid!

I figure this one deserves a permanent spot on the grid. Am I right?! This GORGEOUS stone from was purchased by my mom when she accompanied me to my first gem show in Denver.

I gave it to her for her birthday in the fall, and she’s worn it ever since! She asked for a simple design and this is what we came up with! Golden Hills turquoise is a very unique color that most everyone falls in love with. My goal is to carry more of it this year.

Do me a quick favor if you would since I’ve been punished by ig for not posting much…drop a comment or emoji in the comments below if you agree that this stone should make more appearances in jewelry made by yours truly.

Happy Tuesday!!!

Who here has ever heard of bumblebee Jasper?! Drop an emoji in the comments if you have and you love it!

On its own it has a mix of gray, black, white, and yellows. Pair it with turquoise and you’ve got yourself a match made in heaven! I don’t know what it is, but something about that combo of colors is just amazing!

This beauty gives boho western vibes and is available on the website.

Hello! Yes I’m still alive and yes I’m making jewelry!

As I mentioned previously, this year hasn’t really started as I had planned but that’s okay right?! It’s okay to lean in to your emotions and take life one day at a time as it comes at you. I see this year as being one of big changes and that’s never easy, but ultimately it will all work out in the end as it should!

One change in particular that I’m very excited about is a new partnership with a brick and mortar store who so generously has asked to carry my jewelry! I can’t wait to share the details here in the next few days so stay tuned for that!

As for this gorgeous wild horse turquoise ring…it is available! Check it out on the website! That stone deserved a simple setting, creating the ultimate statement piece! Size 9.

Hello my jewelry loving friends!

Is anybody else feeling exhausted even though it’s the first of the year and we are supposed to be excited about new goals?! This year it feels as if I’m setting goals just to later be disappointed in myself for not meeting them. I’m trying to turn that mentality around, and at the same time give myself some grace.

Last year was very challenging in a lot of ways, but also the busiest year yet in this little biz of mine. If you’ve made it this far…Cheers to new beginnings, new goals, self care, and a lot of jewelry coming in hot this year! Stay tuned!

Also, you can find these fun turquoise hoops on the website! They are lightweight and very comfortable for all day wear!
