Rose Quartz with sapphire leaves

Honey Quartz Flowers with Turquoise Clusters

Turquoise Gem Wrapped Hoops

Smoky Quartz and Garnet Flowers

Red Garnet Holiday Flowers

I just had to share...

a custom order for a delightful and most treasured new client...

 I love the combination of rainbow moonstone with the tanzanite. In a future post I really should address my policies on custom work. This piece is an absolute pleasure to create.

And outside the back door, the pool is closed and dusted with the first fallen leaves, but the lanky anemone's are poking through the gray cedar patio furniture and I think it looks just great--one of those happy accidents...

Fall Flowers

In the shop today! Happy autumn, more layers and crunchy leaves underfoot!

Asters and Monarchs

I have an aster in my front garden that was swarming with monarch butterflies this week. Unfortunately, the monarchs didn't like me around and took flight each time I got too close with the camera but I was able to capture a few. The greens, violets and orange inspired a cuff bracelet I completed yesterday.

A few other items that will go up in the shop today are below. Moving along through fall...

Autumn Burgundys and Reds...

Dropped some earrings in the shop yesterday...

And finished this custom order ring using more of my Bali Star Fossil Coral supply... I have another Fossil coral ring in the works--hope to post it next week...

New Packaging

For much of my jewelry I present in my taffeta jewelry pouches (a new batch is on the way soon--can't wait!) but for the more delicate or elaborate pieces I enclose them in a box. This is the first time I've had the boxes stamped with my logo. Above are the simple gray suede boxes with "Fuss Jewelry" in gold foil. I love them!

And on a completely unrelated note, I found this big, puffy seed head floating around the yard yesterday. I have no idea what plant or tree it is from--it measured about 2 inches in diameter and caught the wind so easily and floated away as soon as I let go.
