The Jasper Jewelry Making Process

I personally gather each piece of Jasper by sourcing my own beach stones from the Olympic Peninsula, which showcase a variety of colors including yellow, black, purple, red, and orange.

Once I bring the stones home, I meticulously cut, shape, and polish them into beautiful cabochons. After achieving the perfect polish on the Jasper, I design a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.

The next step involves the intricate metalsmithing process, which includes hand sawing, soldering, texturing, stone setting, and much more. My primary metal of choice is sterling silver.

This process is quite time-consuming, but it is essential to guarantee that your natural Jasper jewelry is of the highest quality and built to last.
