I have put together a collection “Music”
Slowly but surely I have put together a collection “Music” This one now contains necklaces, two different kinds of earrings. One hanging and another bouncing. And even now, the ring has been added there. The G key is the main one. I had already done 2 years since the necklace, then they came stud earrings and after that they are hanging. And last but not least this year also the ring. I had started making enough new stud earrings but …

I had the honor of making engagement rings for our friends..
Last year when I was in the annual farmers market here in Åsele, I was asked to make engagement rings for our friends here. Of course, I was surprised to get the great fine honor at all.And then our friends came that particular day and we went through my rocks what I had at home. And of course it was quick to find the crystal. Because she had already decided that Rainbow Moonsten should sit in the ring. And so …

Mohave turquoises set.
Sometimes you have strange moments … like yesterday. I will attend the culture day on 19 August. And should be there with my jewelry. I would have prepared and made new jewelry from the old design but was easily distracted by these nice beautiful Mohave turquoise cabachons that I had received at home. Would do more even stud earrings of small stones in. But the thinking goes all the time around these fine Mohava turquoises. I have always wanted to …

Fun collaboration
I had a fun and challenging collaborationwith Tony Roos. He designed this men’s ring himself and then cut the cool stone for that ring . I have several stones from him and can say that he has become a very good stonecutter. That stone is quite exciting … when I first opened the package it was light green / yellow but then when I opened it again under different lighting it was dark purple .. at first I thought shit …
