Rings
Handmade in my Los Angeles studio. Every piece is one-of-a-kind.
A large oval quartz crystal with matrix inclusions held in a hand-sculpted brass setting. Sculpted by hand and cast using the lost wax technique, meaning every piece is one of a kind.

Made in Los Angeles by Miranda Hope. Resizing available upon request.
A hessonite garnet set in a hand-sculpted brass Stele bezel, with double granulation dots above and below the stone. Hessonite is a variety of grossular garnet, its amber and cognac tones caused by manganese and iron within the crystal. Each stone is hand-cut and polished and sourced in small batches.
Sculpted in wax by hand to fit the stone. Made using the lost wax technique, one of a kind.

Necklaces
Handmade in Los Angeles. One of a kind.
Baroque pearl, pyrite, and Herkimer diamonds set in hand-sculpted brass on a gold-fill chain.
I carve each setting by hand in wax to fit the stones, then cast it into brass using the lost wax technique. Because every setting is made for its own stones, no two pieces are alike.
Each stone in this necklace is one of a kind and hand sourced from a community of lapidaries and geologist collectors.
Pyrite (fools gold) forms in natural cubic crystals, metallic and geometric.
Baroque pearls grow in irregular, organic shapes, with pearly blue and pink luster to its white surface.
Herkimer diamonds are uncut double-terminated quartz crystals from Herkimer, New York, formed in pockets of rock over millions of years and naturally faceted with a sparkle all their own.
The chain is gold fill, which is tarnish resistant, and slightly adjustable at the clasp.
The brass setting may develop a little natural tarnish over time. A quick polish with the included polishing cloth brings it back to its original shine.

Recreations and alterations may be available upon request. Orders ship next day. Contact the shop for expedited options

Beryl (in the emerald, aquamarine, and morganite family) In its clear form is called goshenite. It has no trace elements to tint it, so the stone stays colorless and bright, and extra sparkly due to the faceting.

Studio Seconds
Pieces with a rougher finish, a small quirk, or a stone that didn’t behave the way I planned. They’re still beautiful, one of a kind, and priced to find a home.
A boulder opal with electric green fire set beside a faceted beryl, both held in raw, hand-sculpted brass bezels.
Boulder opal forms in the ironstone bedrock of Queensland, Australia, and is cut with its dark matrix still attached, which gives it depth and intensity. Beryl is a sister to emerald and aquamarine and has incredible sparkle minus the color. Together they make a pairing of fire and light.
The setting is made with the lost wax technique. The bezels are left deliberately raw and the surface irregular, more sculpture than polish. Entirely one of a kind.

A large baroque pearl with pink and silver luster, paired with a small bright boulder opal, set in raw, hand-sculpted brass bezels.
Baroque pearls grow in irregular, organic forms inside mollusk, so no two are ever quite alike. The opal beside it adds a spark of deep blue fire.
The setting is made with the lost wax technique, with raw bezels and a sculptural, irregular surface. Entirely one of a kind.

Pearl are softer stones so remove before showering or working with hands.
****Part of my Studio Seconds release. The bezels and metal surface on this piece are rougher and more sculptural than my usual finish, so it’s offered below its standard price.
A fiery boulder opal paired with a subtle round faceted aquamarine, set in raw, hand-sculpted brass bezels.
The opal holds a deep lagoon of teal and blue and even sometimes violet fire over its natural ironstone backing. The aquamarine, a beryl colored by iron, plays off the gentle blues of the opal. The ring feels like water in all shades.
The setting is made with the lost wax technique, with bezels left raw and a sculptural, irregular surface. Entirely one of a kind.

Earrings
Small sculptures for the ears. Made by hand, so every pair is a match but not exactly alike.
Freshwater pearls in handmade brass settings hanging from hammered brass chain links. Gold fill ear wires.
Round blue fiery labradorite in handmade brass settings hanging from hammered brass chain links. Gold fill ear wires.
Herkimer diamonds in handmade brass settings hanging from hammered brass chain links. Gold fill ear wires.
A boulder opal with deep blue, teal, and green fire - set in a granulated hand-sculpted brass bezel.
Boulder opal forms in the ironstone bedrock of Queensland, Australia, where thin veins of opal seep into the rock over millions of years. Unlike other opals which are cut free from the matrix, boulder opal is left partially attached to its ironstone matrix, the dark backing is part of the stone, and it's what gives boulder opal its depth and intensity of color. No two stones are alike, and the play of color shifts with every angle and every light source.
The setting is made using the lost wax technique, sculpted by hand with granulation creating a textured border that frames the stone. Entirely one of a kind.
