ABOUT THE STONE

FOX TURQUOISE: The Old Fox mine is located in Lander County near Cresent Valley, Nevada. It was first mined in prehistoric times by the indigenous people, who used the large nuggets in adornments and ceremonies. In the 1940's, Dowell Ward purchased and developed the old Cortez turquoise claims and since, it has has been one of the largest producing mines in Nevada. Fox turquoise is quite stable and runs from shades of green to an aqua blue color.

MORE ABOUT THE ART

These may just look like simple little earrings, but they’re far more special than that…

These lightweight hoops feature two petite pinecones cast in sterling silver & suspended amongst a bevy of bright natural turquoise and Baltic amber beads. I foraged the first tiny adolescent Red Pine pinecones to cast & craft into jewelry from atop Rumford Whitecap Mountain in Maine in 2019.

In 2016, we started venturing north every chance we had to hike, ski, camp & bike…back when living in Maine was a mere dream. Throughout those years, I procured pinecones from every peak we climbed to serve as momentos of our adventures.

Little did I know that 9 years later, I would be crafting those very same pinecones into jewelry…in Maine. In my very own home studio. With a Red Pine right outside my door. And hiking those same mountains with our very own Tiny Pine on the way.🤰

How full circle is that?
