Jasper Jewelry

The Jasper Jewelry Making Process

I create each piece of natural Jasper jewelry by collecting my own beach stones on the Olympic Peninsula, which can vary in different colors of yellow, black, purple, red and orange. I take the stone home where I cut, shape and polish it into a cabochon. After polishing the Jasper, I craft a design for a unique piece of jewelry. Then begins the metalsmithing process of hand sawing, soldering, texturing, stone setting and more. The main metal I work with is sterling silver. It's a time intensive process to ensure that your natural Jasper jewelry is high quality and long-lasting.

About Jasper

Natural Jasper is an opaque variety of Chalcedony, a type of micro-crystalline Quartz mixed with other minerals, and has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it a very durable semi-precious gemstone for jewelry. Jasper can be found in an array of colors and patterns, making each one unique. It's found in areas with volcanic activity so it is fairly abundant in Washington State. Jasper is associated with the Earth element, bringing calmness and grounding to the wearer, and is the perfect secondary birthstone for the month of March and the Zodiac sign Aries.
