Susan Sims
Susan Sims has been developing her craft for more than thirteen years. All of her jewelry is hand fabricated in 22kt gold. She melts the metal into a solid 22kt gold ingot that she forms and hammers until she is satisfied with each one-of-a-kind piece.Susan's inspiration for her work is the inherent beauty of the gold and the challenge of creating a vehicle for that richness. She knows she has been successful when the emotion that she invests in each piece engenders a palpable, full-hearted sense of resolution. Susan's wish is for the wearer to enjoy the same exhilaration that she experiences in the process of expressing her vision through her art.
Melinda Risk
Melinda Risk was born and raised in Indiana. She has been drawing and making things since she was a tiny girl, deeply engaged with Mother Earth. In high school she took every art class available. She attended Kent State University where she studied glassblowing, printmaking, fibers, and metals, earning a BFA in Jewelry/Metals.Melinda originally wanted to be a painter but after the metals class she was jewelry-bound. Her spirited depiction of the natural world sets her work apart. Compositions entail a combination of multiple materials (22kt gold, sterling silver, gemstones, bone, horn, and porcelain) and techniques (glass painting, carving, fabricating, and metal granulation). Melinda combines a wealth of elements to tell each story, much like a composer employs diverse instrumentation to convey the emotion behind a piece of music.
Though walks in nature serve as her primary muse, she and her son travel to unusual destinations for renewal and inspiration. Her favorite pastime is carving anything...wax, wood, bone, clay, and gemstones. She also loves the magic of uniting the finished components of a piece to bring her vision to life.
"The best compliment is when someone decides to own a piece of my work. It gives me confidence to continue making more. It’s a circle. I have so many ideas in my mind waiting to get out..."

Why do you use 18kt and 22kt gold?
We use high karat gold because our aesthetic is inspired by the ancient cultures that originally created beautiful works in that class of metal; also, high karat gold lends itself to the matte finish that we prefer.
Behind the Ear Latching Hoop
On rare occasions, the catches on our hoops loosen over time. To be sure that your hoops are on securely, listen for a click as you close them. If they do not click firmly, the catches need to be tightened and the hoops should not be worn until adjusted. You are welcome to bring them into our shop for a free adjustment, although this can be done by any jeweler, or yourself (if you must), with a pair of smooth, round needle nose pliers. Squeeze the catch together very gently; you will barely see the catch move. Check the fit of the post and continue until the earrings are clicking soundly again.Opal and Tourmaline
Water, sky, fire, and rainbows...all of these elements of nature seem to be embodied in the magnificent opal.The opal is October's birthstone.
The Australian aborigines tell the story of the Creator coming down to earth from heaven on a rainbow to bring the message of peace to humans. Where his feet touched the ground, it became alive with opalescent color.
It is a fact that 95% of the world's opals are mined in the outback of Australia.
Opals are composed of a mineraloid gel, a mineral-like substance that does not demonstrate crystallinity as most gems do. Deposited in rock fissures, such as limonite, sandstone, or basalt, the small spheres of gel cause interference and refraction manifestations, resulting in the unique color play of the opal.
The opal is made up of at least 3% water, but can have a water content as high as 20%. It can become brittle when stored dry, and the color play may pale when exposed to heat for a long period. It is best to wear your opals regularly. They need to absorb the humidity from the air and the skin. They are rated a 5.5-6 on the Mohs scale, so caution is needed in order to avoid stress and abrasion to the stone.
Ethiopian Hydrophane opals have a different relationship with humidity and oils. They are happiest when they have less contact with skin oils and perspiration.
The tourmaline is also recognized as a birthstone for October. It may be a good alternative for the person who wants to wear their jewelry a little harder . The tourmaline is 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it a very durable stone.
The word tourmaline means "stone with mixed color." They are found in nature in virtually every hue of the rainbow, often with multiple colors in the same stone. The watermelon tourmaline, with three distinct colors, is one of the most fascinating specimens.
Mined mainly in Brazil and Africa, tourmaline is one of the most utilized stones in jewelry today. Rubellite describes a deep red tourmaline, Paraiba, an intense blue green, and Canary, a golden yellow. No two tourmalines are exactly alike, making them a perfect choice for one-of-a-kind pieces.
Legend has classified the tourmaline as the stone of love and friendship, rendering them firm and lasting.
