i’m slowly getting back into the groove of creating again. lately i’ve been sitting with my thoughts on the ebb and flow of my own creativity [and craftsmanship] within my life’s highs and lows. thoughtful design is something i certainly enjoy. i’ve worked hard to hone my skills to be able to translate the ideas in my head to tangible forms, but it’s something i work at everyday. it frustrates me to my core not execute a project or even have the concept for a project i know are within my capabilities. it’s like having the perfect word on the tip of your tongue but it’s just not coming out. it feels good to be moving around in the studio with the intention of finding space in my days for all the things that make me whole and proud and inspired. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnc68-mBke1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xqegqywvmsz2

laying out just a few little diamonds💎 while i will always love sketching out designs, sometimes a visual is just what’s needed. and who doesn’t like playing with a whole mess of diamonds?! #alternativebridal #trudesign (at White Salmon, Washington)

i always feel incredibly honored to be able to work on the projects that carry such special meaning for my clients, and this particular wedding band was especially sweet. my aunt and uncle have been married for 37 years wrapped in one of the most beautiful caring respectful honorable loves i ever known. this love further seeps into the relationships they have with their daughters, their parents, their siblings, their nieces and nephews and really anyone that gets joy of having them in their lives. the yellow gold from the band he’s worn since day they said their vows was refined in the shop and soldered to palladium to give a modern update for a timeless love ❤︎ #ilovemyfamilytopieces

stocking the showroom again. open wed-sat 11-6 at 230 e. jewett come see what’s new! #swingbygetinspired

heirloom diamonds all together right where they belong ❥ it so special to work with generational jewelry. something that brings the memory of a loved one; something once worn and cherished daily; something that was passed down with love. taking all those components and making a special piece for its new owner to embody is just so sweet. #diamondsreallyareforever #sustainable #alternativebridal

remember when you were in primary school and they said math skills will be important no matter your career path, and you were like ya right, i’m artsy, who cares squares, pythagorean schmathagorean... welp, wishing some of Mr. Burton’s geometry classes were a little more accessible in my brain right now. #mathforever #artinprogress (at White Salmon, Washington)
