I've been watching other makers do the 100 Day Project for the last several years, and this year I'm finally committing to the project. The creators of the project recommend approaching it with a mindset of either play, practice, or produce, so I'm doing play/practice with engraving for #the100dayproject. I'm using dice to choose what to engrave every day, and that will make the project more playful and take some planning pressure off me.

Myles reached out to me with a vision for a simple, elegant, botanically inspired engagement ring. I mocked up several designs for him, showing how the ring could look with a round or oval center stone, how it would look with additional diamonds down the shank, etc. He chose a Chatham alexandrite oval center stone and opted for a solitaire design with a floral engraved shank. Simple, beautiful, and unique! Thank you, Myles, for sending me these pictures! The joy on your faces is so sweet!

In anticipation of her best friend moving to Europe, Beth asked me to created matching Gemini constellation bracelets for the two of them. They wouldn't hang out as often anymore but having a special little token to remind them of each other is comforting. The organic shape, beaded border, and chunky silver chain make these perfect bracelets for everyday wear. I made them adjustable and would style them layered with several other bracelets for a fun arm party of a stack.
