Andrew & Teddy

Theadora (Teddy) came up to me in my booth at the Seattle Wedding Show and asked if I would ever consider making copper rings. I said "Why not?" She told me an amazing story of Andrews Grandfather who was about to ship off to war and wanted to propose to his love before he left. He went to the only jeweler in town to purchase an engagement ring for her. This jeweler only made rings from Platinum and Copper. Not having enough money to purchase a Platinum ring, he purchased and proposed with a Copper ring. Andrew and Teddy wanted to honor this amazing love story with Copper wedding bands. 

Congratulations you two! May your love be as strong and unique as the love of your grandparents.

Karyn & Geoff

Karyn & Geoff were married on August 14th, in Cape Cod. Their wedding invitations had these beautiful little silver starfish on them that set the tone for the beachy wedding they would have in Cape Cod. The dresses were a lovely periwinkle blue and we created a paisley design match the pattern in the brides delicious paisley shoes. I wish I had a picture of the shoes to show you! They were great! She decided after seeing the pendants that her mother would love to have one as well. We made a simpler version for her (shown below).

Congratulations Karyn & Geoff! Hope your day was heavenly and that the honeymoon lasts through the years to come.

Camille

This is the complete set made for Camille's wedding party. She gave them to her maids as Thank you gifts. They wore them on the wedding day as they matched the dresses. Simplistic and easy and lovely. They can easily be worn again... the best way to say thank you!

Congratulations Camille & Drew! I hope you two are enjoying wedded bliss. E, E, J & T - I hope you 4 are enjoying your jewels.

Scott & Laura's Wedding Bands

This was a unique job for me. Scott and Laura are good friends of my husband and I. They are both Artists them selves - Architects to be exact - and were interested in having me make their wedding bands. They had a diamond they wanted to use and were wanting white gold or platinum. I wanted so bad to work with them, but knew that I did not have the skills to set the diamond or to cast the rings. I offered to design the rings and then we would have them made by another jeweler. I suggested a few places I knew of for Laura to take my design. She chose Goldmine Jewelry, in Pike Place market. They are great! They offer the Bride and Groom the opportunity to cast their own rings! How cool is that?! I attended the ring casting with them and was very impressed with what they ended up with! 

The lovely couple - Scott & Laura

The finished rings. Laura's is White Gold and Titanium and Scotts is Titanium.

Both rings are 'square-ish'. Laura's includes a very cool Titanium wedding band that inserts into the engagement band.

Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your most amazing day, Scott & Laura!

Cufflinks for Jordan

Gina wanted some cufflinks for her life long love. Just to prove what I mean by life long... check out how little the two kids are in this wagon.... That's Gina and Jordan!! The photo was an old photo copy from a news paper. I edited the photo to make wagon to reflect the original red color. 

Megan & Kevin

Megan & Kevin were married here in West Seattle at the Hall at Fauntleory. It was a gorgeous wedding - fun to be a part of. I was delighted to actually get to see my work walk down the aisle on three lovely ladies. What a treat.

West Seattle Street Fair

Happy RJD jewelry purchasers!

Hello all! RJD has had a busy summer and I apologize for not posting more! Making jewelry and selling is sometimes more fun.... 

Back in July we participated in the West Seattle Street Fair. We were a part of the ART DIVE, sponsored by The Twilight Artist Collective. It was great fun and I had a blast - in addition to selling a TON of jewelry.  Thanks to all that stopped by to say hi and supported our business!
