Sharon Orman Aspens Watercolor

Sharon Orman Aspens Watercolor

Its getting to be that time again and I have started an aspen jewelry display in the shop. I commissioned Sharon Orman, local Pueblo, Colorado Artist to do the Aspen Watercolor for my display. The watercolor is very colorful and really gives a feeling of Fall. The Aspen Leaf Jewelry Collection is displayed with it and really makes a great theme display for my collection. I am experimenting with some new styles of leaves this year, and it should be a great aspen jewelry display for the season.

A new earring will be availabe soon in Ricks collection of Aspen Leaf Jewelry. This earring is stunning in Copper, as shown on the left, and available in Sterling Silver. These Earrings are approximately the size of a U.S. Nickel and have Sterling Silver ear wires attached. These pieces are formed with a process that has been around for a long time called roll printing. A Rolling mill is used to form the design and then the leaf is cut out to leave an outstanding boarder.

Black Onyx Zia Symbol Pendant

Black Onyx Zia Symbol Pendant

Well I’m on my way to Santa Fe, NM  for the weekend and thought it would be a good day for me  and my wife to adorn ourselves with some beautiful Zia Symbols. The New Mexico Sun Symbol has a lot of meanings and a great history in the southwest where we live. The Zia Symbol has four rays pointing in each direction. Here are some of the meanings and symbolism of the Zia Pendant

The Number 4 Represents:

  • The four points of the compass: north, south, east and west.
  • The four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
  • The four phases of the day: morning, noon, evening and night.
  • The four stages of life: childhood, youth, adulthood and old age.
  • The belief that with life comes four sacred obligations: to develop a strong body, a clear mind, a pure spirit and a devotion to the welfare of others.

The meanings of this symbol are so deep that anyone can find a meaning that is suited to them. We Love it for its rich history and great fashion. Enjoy it for whatever reason you decide.

Well it was great to see all my old Pueblo Colorado East High School classmates the other night at Angelo’s Pizza.  Some of  which I have not seen in 40 years. My Eagles were a great hit and of course many people wanted one and I had only made a few.The newest member to my Eagle collection was the promised Eagle Talon Pendant. It hangs on a leather cord and is a solid silver casting. The Brass Pendant and Earrings were also a great hit and I’m sure I will be doing more of them soon.

New Buffalo Nickel Sterling Silver Pendant

New Buffalo Nickel Sterling Silver Pendant

One the the most highly sought after and recognized coins in U.S. history is the Buffalo Nickel by James Fraser. This classic piece of American history was minted for a short time between 1913 and 1938.  The Indian Head Nickel as it is called by coin collectors is a true piece of American coin history. Some who like coin jewelry have  enjoyed this nickel as earrings, pendants,bracelets and rings.  Over the last 20 years I have made numerous pieces many times including money clips and cuff links for fans of Buffalo’s, CU fans which is Colorado University’s mascot, and Buffalo growers who are growing this great animal for the meat. Coin Jewelry can be very fashionable for many occasions and is a great conversation piece or gift for any occasion or holiday . This Nickel jewelry is being shown with the buffalo side exposed. The Indian head is available in all these pieces of coin jewelry.

East High School Eagles, Pueblo, Colorado class of 1970

These earrings were designed with my 40th reunion in mind it is coming up in August in Pueblo Colorado.  Go East Eagles……..  One of my great followers asked me to design this Eagle set and she bought the pendant before it was ever finished and then she told me immediately that she needed the earrings and she got them today to her delight.  Unfortunately she is not a Pueblo East High Alum but she is a patriotic, gun toting, Eagle lover from the get-go..These kind of projects are what keep me going on those days when I find it very hard to work. I hope to have some of these for the mixer in August and will have a Eagle talon soon to add to the collection.

Some of the finest Native American crafts can be purchased at Skystone and Silver LLC. Rick Sindeband local jewelry artist has a great selection of Zuni Jewelry directly from these well known Native American artists. Rick hand selects beautiful hand made turquoise and shell jewelry in his exclusive arrangement from thousands of pieces shown to him several times a year by their representative.  Since Rick is a well know silversmith he uses his knowledge to pick the very best of all their work and haveit on display in his store at 117 E. Abriendo Ave in Pueblo Colorado. He has even been known to ask for special requests for fetishes and other stunning works of art. In addition to the Zuni work on display Rick usually has a very nice selection of estate pieces that are both Navajo and Hopi.

Southwest jewelry is still a very popular. Silver beads and turquoise necklaces will probably will never
go out of style they are a great fashion accessory for almost anyone.

New Traditional Pharmacy Symbol Lapel Pin

Pharmacy Symbol pin pendantOne of our customers called today and said that the traditional Pharmacy Symbol (Rx) Lapel pin could not be found anywhere and he was in a panic because pharmacy graduation was only two weeks away and he needed that pin.

I  sat down and designed the pharmacy lapel pin, it was a snap. I made  it out of Sterling Silver that is eco friendly post consumer scrap, in other words this piece of jewelry is “GREEN” not really, but it is made from silver that has been recycled.

Pharmacy symbols that can be worn as jewelry on lab coats or as Lapel pins on jackets are a very stylish and thoughtful pharmacy graduation gift.

We can still get these out for graduates around the country.  Pharmacy graduates and Pharmacy Technician graduates would enjoy this great gift. The Pharmacy piece is also available as a pendant for those who wish to wear it that way.
