I hand forge and solder my silver jewelry. I hand cut most of the gemstones that I use. I set accent stones in some pieces, both faceted and non-faceted.

Get to Know

Lunar Skies Jewelry is more than a business for me, it is my art and my passion. I try to create each piece as a unique work of wearable art. In the past I've created paintings, sculpture, and commercial illustrations. I believe my diverse background as an artist and craftsman provides me with a fresh approach to how I design my jewelry. Cutting my own stones gives me a great deal of creative freedom for my designs.

This was a show piece I created that never got to a show because my wife wanted it. She won't usually ask for a piece. The stone is Parrot Wing Chrysocolla, the accent stones are Blue Topaz, the beak is 14K gold.

I made a series of these hummingbird pendants for a museum's hummingbird exhibit with a variety of gemstones to create color for the bodies. This one has a Charoite gemstone.

When I cut this Lapis Lazuli stone from the rough material I was amazed at the Pyrite veins.
