Brooke Stone Jewelry

At her studio on Spencer Creek, Brooke Stone integrates her appreciation for animals with her love of art. Her success lies in the sense of intimacy she captures, her ability to hold the spiritual and mythological meanings of animals. These fine Totem creations are hand cast using ancient metal arts and combined with hand-cut stones and carved organic materials (bone, horn, fossil tooth or ivory and, shell), to become stunning originals.

Totem is hard to talk about, really an abstract concept to most modern peoples. The totem is that connection between the spiritual essence of person and the spiritual essence of the animal. If we along with everything else are composed of spirit then, our spiritual voice can converse with the spiritual voice of everything else. Some people in this world today do believe all things are animated by spirit "animals," that everything has a sacred voice to be heard."

Brooke casts once every six to eight weeks. So, the number of pieces available is limited -- items that aren't in stock may require two months to complete. We know you'll agree, when that beautiful piece of jewelry is received, the care and craftsmenship invested in every moment taken to create it will have been worth the waiting.

Handmade Jewelry From Shauna Zeck

Beautiful handmade jewelry artist, Shauna Zeck is inspired by what is always surrounding her: earth, sky and water. She honors her Lakota heritage by listening to Uncis, the Grandmothers, understanding what it means to be patient and letting her beadwork "speak". Her one-of-a-kind hand beaded jewelry is refreshingly unique and vibrantly beautiful. Self taught in this art form, Shauna studied how to interpret and construct traditional ways of beading of several first nations. She uses her beadwork to bridge the present to the past, “I don’t tell my hands what to bead or how, that comes from Uncis, the Grandmothers.” Click her to see her work.

Lost Wax Bronze Castings by Cavin Richie

Born in 1950 in Ft. Collins Colorado, Cavin grew up in the Rocky Mountains. His love for wildlife was a natural reflection of his surroundings, a passion that has endured & fueled his desire to carve.
