I fell in love with pink this year at the Tucson Gem Show. I stumbled into the most elegant shades of pink in the form of Guava Quartz and antique African trade beads while shopping for stones at the annual convergence that is the Gem Show. (Think thousands of vendors across dozens of locations with stones from every nook and cranny of the planet).

.This adorable pair of studs is in the shop right now. The dusty rose color is to die for.

The trade beads have inspired a whole new avenue for me around constructing with silver. I’m enjoying puzzling out how to mate the beads to my silver work in a way that feels just right. These earrings below, available in early March, came out, well, just right.
