I am often asked how we make our jewelry, so here’s a brief look at our process.

It all starts with a lump of clay…

Then each piece is formed by hand and the images are pressed or drawn into the clay. This is one of our favorite steps because this is when we can really get creative, inventing new shapes and new patterns and drawing directly on the clay.

After the shapes are formed and pressed they must dry out at least overnight and much longer for the thicker pieces like bracelets. Once dry it is put into the kiln and fired for the first time. This first firing is called the bisque firing.

After the bisque firing. Each piece is individually painted with ceramic glazes.

Now the painted pieces are loaded into the kiln and fired for a second time.

After the final firing the pieces or as we like to call them, “the treasure” is ready to cool and come out of the kiln. The final pieces are strung on cord or chain and are ready to meet the world!

And, finally, each piece is put in our online store along with other styles ready for you to browse.
