Welcome to our Etsy Shop! Our most recent collection is the Coral Collection. It is a departure from our signature sticks and stones pieces. This collection incorporates the various textures and form of a single piece of coral. The Coral Collection is a striking juxtaposition of simplicity and intricate detail. These pieces will ignite the urge in all of us to get to the beach and find our own treasures!

Collections
The Nest collection: These pieces are representations of the beautiful sculptural homes created by birds. The Nest pieces are one-of-a-kind. I build each one out of wax and then cast them.

Compose Decompose: This collection is a study of sticks and stones. This has been our most popular collection. The smooth and lightly textured rocks feel so soothing to touch while the detailed branch forms are delicate and sensual.

The Grama and Seed Collections: These collections were inspired by Colorado’s native grasses. The detail, intricacy and diversity of all the grasses I photographed hiking in Colorado inspired me to get back to metal working and start my current business.

I use a variety of metals including silver, bronze and gold. My pieces are %100 designed and created by me (except most chain).

Natural beauty inspires my work and preservation of the environment is of the highest importance. I am committed to operating as an artist and business promoting practices that sustain our environment. All Colby June pieces are packaged in boxes that contain up to 70% PCR content. Each piece comes with a linen (no dye) pouch. All printed materials are printed at Greenerprinter.com, a certified green business. Most pieces are cast by Alpine Casting Company in Colorado Springs. This business is endorsed and used by the following organizations World Trust, Stop Global Warming, and Cool Planet. All metals are obtained domestically meaning they have either been recycled or mined within the United States.

How to care for your jewelry:

Silver
Use baking soda toothpaste with a soft brush or cloth and then brighten with a jewelry polishing cloth.

Bronze
For light tarnish use a jewelry polishing cloth. For heavy tarnish use a brass/bronze cleaner such as Brasso with a soft cloth or soft toothbrush. Avoid using Brasso on vermeil pieces or soft stones like turquoise.

Gold
Soak in a warm mild liquid detergent and then rub with a soft tooth brush or cloth or use a jewelry polishing cloth.

Vermeil or plated jewelry
All Colby June plated jewelry is plated with a high quality 100-120ml plate. However it is still a thin coating over silver or bronze. Use a silver dip solution and rub very gently to remove tarnish or dust build up with a cotton ball or soft cloth. Do not use any cleansers with harsh chemicals to clean your vermeil jewelry, such as gold cleaner. Avoid over-polishing vermeil, as its delicate surface can be easily scratched.

It is always best to remove jewelry before swimming or showering. It is also recommended that you store your jewelry in a sealed plastic bag.

Colby June Customer Reviews…

“I came home today to the happiest package waiting for me! the ring is amazingly beautiful and well made. Thank you colby june for a lovely keepsake, fast shipping, stunning packaging and for making my day!”

“So beautiful and delicate! A really special piece! She has been really helpful and friendly throughout...”

“It's wonderful! My boyfriend got it for me as an engagement ring, and it fits perfectly and looks amazing. It's classic while still being unique for me, and I absolutely adore it. Thank you so much!”

“I bought this necklace about three and a half months ago, and the compliments have not stopped! I would not be exaggerating to say that every time I wear this necklace, someone points it out and compliments it! It's elegant, it's classic but it's also subtle and appropriate for daily wear. I have a jewellery obsession, but I may never need to buy another necklace — that's how happy I am with this one. I also love knowing I bought this directly from the artist; I enjoy knowing whose hands crafted the piece. Thank you.”
