Lapidify
March 2019
Update
The first quarter of 2019 has been very eventful, and much busier than I had anticipated! I haven’t had a single week without a custom order to fill since the start of the year. Here are some of my favorite custom pieces for 2019 so far.
Boar’s tooth, Sterling silver, and garnet. Two different Preseli Bluestone orders for March. Amethyst, black spinel, white topaz, and Sterling silver. Sterling silver and labradorite. Quartz and Sterling silver. Amber and Sterling silver.
In other pretty awesome news, those of you who have been asking if I sell at any retail shops in Charlotte now have a place to go! Lapidify jewelry can now be found for sale at Sanctuary Imports. The shop has a welcoming, warm vibe and the staff were receptive and helpful when I went in. It’s a really lovely space full of crystals, beautiful imported furniture, tarot decks, statuary, herbs, and jewelry. They really seem to care about supporting local artists and other small businesses, so I’d suggest checking them out if you haven’t been.
If you’re in the Rock Hill, SC area you can still check out my display at Raven Moon Emporium. I’ve recently restocked with about 20 pairs semi-precious gemstone stud earrings and lots of other goodies. I’ve also left a few pairs of adjustable Mystic’s rings for people to try on in the ring case. If you’re looking for anything in particular, just ask Raven’s super friendly staff to direct you.
This Saturday, March 30th, I’ll be vending with Queen Flea behind Amelie’s in NoDa. It’s a great opportunity to come talk to me in person about custom orders, or to just come geek out with me about metalsmithing and rocks while you poke my shiny things. The market runs from 10am to 5pm. If you’re looking for the Lapidify booth, just look for the woman who is wrestling what appears to be an octopus made of wire. That’s probably me.

I have decided to finally dip my toes into teaching. Yes, I know I went on a rant a year and a half ago about how I wouldn’t teach wire wrapping. After some not-so-subtle urging and encouragement from my friends/teachers (*cough Janet and Jason cough*), I have re-evaluated that position. It looks like I will be teaching an introduction to wire wrapping class next month at Sanctuary Imports. I’ll post more details about it when the plans are solidified, so be sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook to stay in the loop!
