I wouldn't say its a holiday collection but I just delivered a few new items at Firma Greenbelt 3. One being this Orbita Necklace. Rock crystal quartz and vermeil oversized "orbits". Space-age and very Wilma Flintstone at the same time.

Glad to have two items on the Metro Gift Guide this year. Unfortunately there are some errors on the labeling. The orange/mexican fire opal ring is actually my design. It was labeled as Kristine Dee's, who should also have had a piece featured. Her collections are available at Aum Jewels as well.
The other piece is a multi-color beryl rough necklace with pastel colored Indian tourmalines set in rose gold plated silver. It was penned in as an aquamarine rough necklace. I attached a more detailed picture of it below:
Quite nice for those upcoming Christmas events...
Here's something really interesting, and most significant for my brand, I think. A client of mine gave me the task of making a ring with very specific details. First was that when set, the stone, an emerald, should touch his skin. Second was to put the "Aum Mani Padme Hum" mantra in the outer and inner shanks of the ring; making it also touch the skin. Third was that he wanted some detail of a dragon (or dragons) at the sides. And what resulted was this:
carvings in, out and around
special window for the emerald
One of the most engaging and personal pieces I've designed for some time. While the shape of the ring in itself is quite simple, what brought extra vivacity to it was the detailed engraving of the mantras and the dragons. No rubber molds or anything; everything done by hand. The quality and workmanship is really incomparable as opposed to mass produced ones; if you can find anything like this that is.
