Serendipity
is a wonderful thing that happens when you least expect it. On any ordinary day
something extraordinary can happen and you can either embrace it or walk right
by. That’s exactly what happened this summer. In our travels, we came across a
wonderful woman with breath taking pieces of jewelry in an unassuming location.
As Aaron will tell you, I always have an eye out for an adornment no other woman
possesses. My personal jewelry collection has always been a statement of who I
am no matter the price tag. As I walked up to this dear lady, I saw delicious
organic stones that evoked a place and time from the onlooker. Each one took my
mind and senses on a journey. I went to volcanic beaches, Tibetan mountains,
depths of the oceans, American Southwest reservations, Bali, and numerous other
places. However, one thing they all had in common was an eccentric artist who
loves the look of stones and making custom jewelry as much as I love wearing
them. Her tanned skin and free spirit were an obvious badge of years traveling
the world in search of “Splendor in the Dirt”.
As she shared the history of
each piece, I was intoxicated by their raw beauty. Stones and semi-precious
gems in their organic state revealing their character was a refreshing
statement. I quickly purchased a gorgeous Turquoise Sterling bracelet and
decided in those moments, I would work with this wonderful human being by
offering her custom artisan pieces to my audience. Her life story is as
exciting as the pieces of art she creates when passing time. My hope is you
will enjoy your journey to the center of the earth through these gallery pieces
just as I did under an umbrella on a hot summer day.
