Hand-Cut Cabochons and Handmade Silver Jewelry

My Jewelry~
It all started with my mom and her love of turquoise and silver. She passed it onto me and I fell in love with it. I started out setting stones in leather bags back when I was 19. Life moved on and I grew up to become a mom and a wife. The kids finally got old enough to stay out of my stuff, so I went back to school and fell in love with silversmithing! About 4 years in to silver work, I got into lapidary (rocks) and learned how to cut, shape and polish rocks into cabochons for setting in jewelry. (cabochon is French for half-round.) I got really hooked on cutting and polishing rocks that I added that to my work!
I have my lapidary (rock) studio in the garage, amongst all the carpentry and camping items, along with my Soldering station, which my Hubby built! About a year ago, I moved the gorgeous bench my Hubby also made me, inside to help stay warm in the winter! I love it!
I love starting with a beautiful stone cabochon that has caught my eye and my heart. I then grab some sheet metal and bezel wire and go from there. I'm much better at making it up as I go along than drawing. It's more exciting to see what the end result will be! It's a surprise! That is why I offer only my work and I do not do custom jewelry at this time. I love what creative ideas have been hiding in my subconscious!
I love how my jewelry makes people smile and light up. That is what makes it all worth it for me. The happiness on others faces. The connection I see when a piece of jewelry and a human meet for the first time and click. I know that feeling. It's a "meant to be" moment. Life is short so we should cherish those times.
I make jewelry because I love jewelry. It's a satisfying feeling to create like this. I truly feel blessed to be able to make things so beautiful. You can find all my jewelry at www.mothersonthemountainjewelry.com.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my shop! I really appreciate it!

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING POLICIES~

I can ship internationally, however please read the policies below.

Buyers are responsible for all duties, taxes, levies or fees. I ship worldwide using the United States Postal Service First Class International shipping. You may request additional shipping services at your expense.

I ship using first class mail. I am happy to add insurance and express mail services for an additional fee. Please understand that parcels get lost, get stolen and can take long periods of time to arrive depending on where you live outside of the US.

I can't be responsible if your package is not delivered or held in customs. I suggest adding "Registered Mail" to your package (typically $12.95-$20.00 depending on cost of item purchased) you will need to sign for your package, but it is traceable after it leaves the USA with this option.

Any customs or delivery fees are the buyers responsibility.
