Blogs With A Little Of This and That / lapidary

This was such an informative video. I have had leather scraps for a long time and have made various things using prefab rivets, snaps etc. from places like Tandy. I have always wanted to fabricate my own claps, bezels, and rivets to use, but lacked some important skills and details that were provided in this tutorial. It was a motivating and inspiring way to learn what is needed to incorporate supplies I already have (especially at a time when Silver is so expensive!!) Thank- you for the lesson, tips, and inspiration!! I learned about a few leather products that I was previously unaware of along with their purpose, and aesthetic results, Thank-you so much!!

Beautiful! Classic. Goes with everything. Great purchase.

I absolutely loved this tutorial and learned new techniques that I was unaware were possible without spending a lot of money on texture plates! So thank-you for your willingness to teach, share, and demonstrate your skills! 🙏🌹

I was so excited to see this was still left when I looked on the site!! It arrived quickly and I've received many compliments!! I truly enjoy unique jewelry such as this!! Laura is a wonderful artist and I will definitely order from again!!

Lovely stones! And wonderful customer service!

I love the Stone. The size is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much.

Beautiful cabochons and thank you for the freebie agate!!

I’m happy with my purchase. Thank you.

It never ceases to amaze me what Laura can do with sterling silver-shaping into beautiful pieces, adding texture and light and then using the stones and gems she has to create truly one of a kind treasures. Laura's latest turquoise collection is outstanding. I was able to order three pieces from this collection, each piece a work of art. The turquoise pieces are gorgeous! Thank you, Laura, for bringing us so much beauty and energy to all that you do.

Fantastic tutorial, loved how the instructions were very clean and precise. I am looking forward to purchasing more tutorials like this. I am going to get started on mine this weekend with cabochons I have made myself been saving them for a very long time they are perfect for this cuff.

Another beautiful, one-of-a-kind necklace from Laura! She perfectly highlighted the ammonite fossil's natural spiral and intricate details while preserving its authentic character. I love how it blends natural history with artistry, and it's clear how much care and creativity went into every detail. It's such a unique piece, and I'm so happy to have it in my collection.

This ring is truly one of a kind. Laura beautifully showcased the natural patterns, allowing its vibrant layers of color to tell such a fascinating story, transforming decades of automotive history into a beautiful piece of wearable art. Every time I wear it, someone asks about it, and I love sharing its story. It's a piece I'll treasure for years to come.

This is probably one of the most unique necklaces I have owned in a long time. I have come to expect nothing less than perfection and beauty from the very creative and talented Laura. I trust her instincts to match pieces and colors and styles to bring us amazing and very organic rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants/necklaces. This beauty sits beautifully just below the hollow of my throat and feels so comfortable. I especially love the interesting bar she has nestled just below the strand of beads and which holds the sterling silver stone insets. Laura never ceases to surprise me and this necklace is no exception.

Pieces arrived quickly and are both beautiful.
