Top Notch is a balance of positive and negative space. Light texturing catches the light and provides some visual interest. Lightweight swingers available in either recycled sterling silver or 14k gold fill. Designed as a large earring -roughly 2 inch diameter- but can be sized down to about 1.25” diameter.

Are the mountains calling your name? The mountain ring keeps those beauties close at hand. This ring works well for anyone. I have made custom versions of this ring for many people as a unique and approachable wedding band.

Typically fabricated with mixed metals but work beautifully with silver on silver as well. Wide or narrow, textured or smooth, mountain sketch or specific ranges- these rings are all unique. 

Have something in mind? Let’s chat!

These set stone studs are presented with a slight textured lip of sterling silver. Each pair is sized to best showcase the stones used. These two pair feature blue-green Bisbee turquoise and lime green Nevada turquoise. Stones are not exact matches to one another - but we think that is part of the charm.

Living in a temperate rainforest, I have become a lover of the rain. These articulated swingers evoke the sparkly, textured, silvery beauty of the rain. These are each individually textured by hand and no two have been the same exact patterns. These are super lightweight and have a soft hand due to the articulated design.

These are available in silver, as pictured, or in 14k gold fill. Pictured is the long version of this design but they are also available in a two-drop version and also available with or without the small earring connection bit at top.

Bold texturing and a rustic gold background show off the dramatic silhouetted mountain peaks on this pendant. The geometric texture reminds us of winter snow & ice. All components crafted by hand from thick gauged recycled sterling silver and 14k yellow gold fill. Typically hangs from a 16” or 18” chain.

This version of Miles to Mexico is a retooled version of a classic Marteau Design piece. It has been reworked several times over the past decade - but we think this is the best version yet. The clean texturing and slight center bend are energetic but not chaotic. These large 3” swingers are very light for comfortable all-day wear and are made from recycled sterling silver or 14k yellow gold fill.

Alpine studs are the perfect little piece of the mountains to wear on your run or whenever you want something unique but understated. Available in either recycled sterling silver or 14k yellow gold fill. All posts and earring backs are sterling silver. I handsaw each piece individually, so expect some slight variations.

Alpine studs updated with clean, geometric texturing. We love how this element highlights the peaks and reminds us of snow. Available in various texture placement, or in recycled sterling silver.

Beach Rocks are super lightweight, subtly textured posted swingers. Available in 14k gold fill or recycled sterling silver. Irregular texture lines result from the metal’s journey through the rolling mill with soft materials. These are available in a wide, wide variety of sizes and shapes. These sweet everyday earrings are so incredibly lightweight and comfortable.

Delicate and lovely recycled sterling silver pendant textured by hand, featuring a stunning hand set Larimar cabochon . Larimar is one of my most favorite stones and looks universally good on all skin tones. Necklace hangs at about 16.5”. Creates a real focal point so I like to pair it with a very delicate pair of earrings like a small pair of silver Suncups.

Long, lean, and lightweight. These danglers are subtle but playful and the texture brings to mind the quiet calm of a morning when you wake up to overnight snows drifting around, out in the snowglobe world, piling up and up…ready to jump into.

Sterling silver mountain silhouettes against a brass sky, shining with the suns last rays of the day.

These are the first in a series of mountain inspired, geometric earrings. Named for a distinct but elusive mountain in my hometown. I love how the mixed metals play off each other and suggest the changing light on the mountains. Alpenglow, first snow, sunrise, shrouded in mists... all of it is lovely and inspiring. 

This is my single best seller, so once a pair is made it quickly head out the door! Contact for current inventory or order a pair. Base metal can be flipped so the triangle is pointed up or down.

Part of the Observation series. 

More free form. A suggestion of a mountain. Of a house. A mountain-house. A riff on Observation #1 featuring a wider frame around the mountains.

Can be made with mountains featured in silver, brass, copper, 14k yellow or gold filled. These fly out the studio doors quickly. Contact for current inventory or to place an order.

Located at the hydrological apex of the North American Continent, waters that fall on Triple Divide can run off into 3 oceans. One of the few places in the world where this can happen. 

Triple layers of sterling silver and brass (could be copper) hang from a sturdy sterling silver chain. Typically made to wear short, the Triple Divide is a great everyday necklace for active people.

A sweet, everyday necklace made of three stacked circles and riveted in place with a contrasting metal. Sunspots come in a wide array of metal combinations: copper, brass, bronze and reclaimed sterling or fine silver. I combine textured and smooth metals and hand rivet for a secure connection. Each Sunspot is hung on a small gauge sterling silver chain and generally measure 16"-18" long. The Sunspot is best when it is a shorter necklace, resting just at the top of the breastbone. 

Understated elegance. 14k gold fill posted earrings. These beauties have some swing. Textured to capture the light and add depth. Available upon request in yellow or rose gold fill or sterling silver.

Just a bit of a thing. The Lil' Bit is the necklace I put on and leave there for days and days. Two bits of sterling silver soldered together with a sterling silver tube bail hidden in the back for the chain to run through. Pronounced texturing on the top piece is enhanced with a dark patina and framed by the smooth back piece. This is intended to be a short necklace- generally 16"-18" in length. It looks fantastic with a tee. The Lil' Bit is hung on a narrow gauge sterling silver chain to enhance, not overpower, the piece.

Ooooo! Little, irregular "O's". 

Available is sterling silver, 14k yellow gold fill, or 14k rose gold fill. 

Each is unique and slightly wonky. Hammered. Some with more texture than others. Typically made with sterling silver ear posts and backs. Can be requested with other.

The Corlé necklace is inspired by one of the most unique and elegant women I know. This articulated necklace features five individual pieces connected with a small silver bit melted to form balls on either side. This allows each piece to swing freely and drape beautifully on your neck/breastbone.

Contact for inventory availability. Available in 14k yellow/rose gold fill or in sterling silver. Please note that I no longer offer this or other designs in copper or brass. Gold fill is much cleaner to work with and resists tarnishing.

Each necklace features sterling silver chain. Generally, this piece looks best on the shorter side shorter side; between 16"-18". 

Simple, classic, elegant. The Pear Drops feature a thick sterling silver wire layered at the joint and then secured with a brass ring for a tiny bit of balance. Earners are hand formed from sterling silver wire. Hammered for stability and definition. 

Sterling silver charmers. Reminiscent of butterfly wings. Textured. Oxidized. Slightly askew. 

These are relatively small earrings but due to the moving parts, they have presence.

Wispy wonders. Lightweight statement earrings. Made of recycled sterling silver and red brass (a color match for 14k gold), these swingers are tough not to reach for everyday! Hand-formed earwires are long for security and a short length of sterling silver chain connects the brass wishbone. Plenty of swing and an organic shape to the wishbone feature mean these will be noticed! Enjoy your conversation-makers!

Sterling silver horizon highlights 14k gold fill (yellow or rose) or silver mountain range silhouette. The Blackfeet people refer to the Northern Rockies as "The Backbone of the World". Appropriate descriptor for the staggering peaks chasing the Continental Divide. 

Necklace features a sterling silver chain from quality German chain purveyor, Stoller. Available in 16", 18", or custom length. *Note: some photos feature copper on silver. I no longer offer this piece in copper. 14k rose gold fill is a cleaner metal option and a color match to copper. Yellow gold rill is a color match to jeweler’s brass.

This item sold out. Can be made in sterling silver, copper, or brass with sterling earwire. Choices of textured, smooth, oxidized, shiny, and some size requests entertained.

Moulin is a term from geomorphology indicating shafts with sheer walls where surface water enters a glacier. Impossibly beautiful. Often bright blue. Bewitching.

This stabilized Bisbee turquoise is set lengthwise on a wide, angled sterling silver band. Sized at 6.5, this ring is super comfortable due to the rounded edges. Brushed to a matte finish to highlight the gorgeous 3.7k turquoise stone. 

Kiva's are the peardrop-shaped fireplaces traditionally built into the corners of adobe homes in the Southwest. The shape of this gorgeous Kingston turquoise reminds me of the kivas I saw all over New Mexico and the color of the sky contrasted with the red rock and terra-cotta adobe walls. 

Size 6.5. This is a one of a kind ring. Set in sterling silver, featuring detailed texture around the rim of the stone. Oxidized to highlight the details and reference the dark veins running through the blue stone. A simple, narrow sterling band keeps it balanced and light. 

Named for the blue, glacier-fed waters of Shangri La lake...hidden deep in the Northern Rockies. It's real. But you have to put in the effort to find it.

Sterling silver, thin gauge band. Turquoise stone from Bisbee, Arizona.

This ring is sold out. Similar style rings can be made to order. Turquoise and other stones available.

Olecranon is the corner of an elbow. Pointed and able to swing...like these earrings.

Soldered to a sturdy 16 gauge sterling silver fulcrum of wire. Sterling earners are soldered directly to the earring for security. Lightweight. These make the most of negative space to save the wearer's ears from excess weight.

Suncups and textured moons…so many options to rock small round studs! Tiny to jumbo! Smooth or textured! Silver or gold!

Suncups are named for the formations created in the alpine snow in late spring/early summer. The sun melts out the snow during the day creating divots and then freezes at night, preserving the cup shapes. Textured moons are just how they sound. Round golden (or silver!) moons with random patterning and texture to create visual interest.

Silver or gold fill. Small or large. Patterned hammering or random textures. Small to large.

Lightweight swingers suitable for everyday, all the time.

These narrow, lightweight bracelets allow for a variety of wrist sizes due to the opening in the back. These are particularly elegant when stacked in 3’s or 5’s.

More from the Observation series. Simple. Geometric. The least literal of the bunch.
