Two of the best pieces of Australian Opal that I own in my collection. One is Lightning Ridge and the other Boulder Opal. ⚡️ I love to base designs on my feelings so which one are you feeling more? . . . . . #sdfjewelry #opaladdict #opalring #fingercandy #makersgonnamake #opallove #handmadeisbetter #jewelryartist #opalgang #customjewelrydesign #bohochicjewelry #gypsyjewelry #delicatejewelry #handmaderings #handmadejewelry #goldsmith #artisanjewelry #riopro #riojeweler #ooakjewelry #opalandgold #simplejewelry #australianopal #jewelrycollector #opaljewelry #freepeople #opal #ringlover #futureheirloom #lighteningridge (at Eastside, Costa Mesa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MTBdJBvzp/?igshid=vqlvclprwwic

Missing Mexico right now so I thought I would make another SDF Jewelry original design inspired by my love for Mexico. This is the Agave Ring made with vintage stock Ithaca Peak Turquoise in size 8.

I am in love with this sapphire gold ring I made earlier this week. It is set in 14K solid yellow gold and is size 6.75 to 7 ready for your purchase. My wife, Caroline saw it and immediately put it on her finger as if it were hers so I know it is a good one. Believe me I would give every ring to her if I could but I need to make a living. 😬 Unique and thoughtfully designed and offset ever so slightly. In my opinion perfect and exactly how I envisioned it to be. This amazing ring will be in my shop soon or DM for inquiry and I will get back to you on Monday with pricing. . . . . . #sdfjewelry #handmadejewelry #finejewelry #ringelover #ringsandthings #fingercandy #jewelrygram #alternativebridal #ethicallysourced #sapphire #altbride #rosecutsapphire #rosecutring #engagementring #whatagem #makersgonnamake #riojeweler #ringsofinstagram #alternativeengagementring #alternativebride #sapphirering #handmadefinejewelry #altwedding #futureheirlooms #handmadeisbetter #riopro #sapphireengagementring #ringsofinstagram #metalsmith #goldsmith (at Ojai Rancho Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4Z69knHda/?igshid=1u735wu6omb54

Funny story here. I had a similar sapphire ring (but different stone) on my site reserved as a custom order for someone else but it was accidentally purchased from someone different all the way from Germany. Bad system on my part so I changed this but no harm, no fowl and believe me, it made my day because I was able to source another beautiful sapphire and make special ring custom for her too. It was a win win for all, so thank you to @kullimini for your accidental purchase 😉 I could not thank you enough! 🙏🏼 . All of these sapphire stones have been cut from ethically sourced rough, completely free from all treatments. Gombe State Nigerian Origin. .

Do you remember the post a few weeks back with all of those tiny gorgeous Damele, 7D, and Desert Bloom stones on my hand? My vision of making these in mixed metal 14K solid yellow gold and sterling silver came true with this tiny Damele stone custom made in a tiny size 2.5. Smaller is not always easier so this one turned out unbelievably amazing! . @knickknackfannypackrat Thank you for the fun challenge. I really hope you love it because I know I loved making it for you! . . . . . #sdfjewelry #fingercandy #makersgonnamake #handmadeisbetter #jewelryartist #goldsmith #customjewelrydesign #bohochicjewelry #delicatejewelry #simplejewelry #handmadejewelry #artisanjewelry #riopro #riojeweler #turquoisejewelry #turquoiseaddict #turquoiseoverdiamonds #turquoiselover #handmaderings #ringsofinstragram #stacksarethenewblack #mixedmetaljewelry #turquoiseandgold #silversmith #whatagem #goldandturquoise #ringlover #alternativeengagementring #stackingrings #hippiering (at Eastside, Costa Mesa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzwkBq9HLGt/?igshid=jzg5ho4bm4l3

My wife and I have been going through a lot lately and in a nutshell it has to do with greedy corporations and very dishonest people that we thought were our friends so being able to get my mind off of that and have the opportunity to make this amazingly gorgeous Sapphire and 14K solid yellow gold ring is a breath of fresh air. This to me represents new beginnings, love and positivity. From the second I saw this stone I knew it had a beautiful soul, much like the pacific ocean with lots of depth of blue hues that are constantly changing with the light. I love the richness of the deep blue with the gold.  . 2.43 ct precision custom modified oval rose cut teal blue sapphire | 10. 40x7. 5mm These stones have been cut from ethically sourced rough, completely free from all treatments. Gombe State Nigerian Origin. . @ceilidh_house_farm You were simply amazing to work with on this and from the bottom of my heart thank you for trusting in making this gorgeous ring for you.
