Thoughts from Cornelia
From Rough Rock and Untamed Metal Comes Quality, One of a Kind, Wearable Art.
I'm inspired by all the natural colors, contours, and textures in everything I see. I thrive on turning stone with potential into pieces of art that can be worn for generations.
Each stone is hand selected by me in its roughest state. Then using lapidary techniques, I grind and polish each stone into a beautiful and unique cabochon. From there each cabochon is displayed in the highest quality solid sterling silver, copper, and brass available. The result is quality handmade jewelry, so you'll look and feel your best wearing your handmade piece that is unique as you.
Picking Up Stones
Remember kicking stones as you walked a beaten path? Occasionally, a stone catches your eye. Maybe a subtle sparkle, a blast of color, or even a telling pattern. These treasures usually end up in a bucket, on a windowsill or even piled in our gardens. The truth is, these beauties should be on display, complementing their canvas. What better place than the on you?
I love turning a stone with potential into pieces of art that can worn and handed down for generations. My craft is both technical and artistic. I use lapidary techniques to craft beautiful, unique cabochons from rough stone. Then, set them in solid sterling silver, copper, and brass. The stone and metal guide the way so each piece is truly unique.
I enjoy full artistic freedom, from rough rock and metal to quality, one of a kind, wearable artwork.
