Sequoia Silver jewelry is for the artsy, outdoorsy gal, the free spirit, the tree hugger. The name is a reference to the majestic giant sequoia tree of the Sierra Nevada mountains, my family’s go-to getaway spot, the place we go for recuperation and inspiration. My intention is to create pieces that are simple, bold, feminine, and rugged.
I design and craft each piece with care from start to finish, using sterling silver, copper, and gemstones — mostly turquoise and variscite, but others as well. Every stone I use is unique, so you can be sure your piece is truly one of a kind. Sequoia Silver is about revealing your most authentic and striking self, and I hope these pieces will connect you with the beauty of the natural world, and ultimately to your own exceptional self.
Please take a look at my shop policies and FAQs to make sure all your questions are answered before making a purchase. If you have any questions, just let me know — I would love to hear from you!

5 out of 5 starsThis necklace is absolutely stunning. It was sent promptly, and was beautifully and securely packaged. For a long time, I had been looking for a necklace to honor the memory of my favorite cat in the universe, who passed away. The minute I saw this one, after many years of hoping to find one that was fitting, I knew that this would be the perfect necklace for that purpose. And, it is. It is stunning; its beauty helps me remember everything good about him. I will treasure it.

5 out of 5 starsOh, what a gorgeous detailed sterling silver and green tourmaline ring!!!!!!!!! Absolutely love it - I would give this one 10 stars if I could - stands out on its own. Love the combo of lovely green tourmaline stone housed on this detailed "old grove" theme -reminds me of my walks around the redwood or Sequoia groves. Many thanks again to Lia for her wearable artwork - very happy multi-repeat customer!

5 out of 5 starsThe pretty green moss kyanite stone paired with the redwood tree pendant is a knock out!! Absolutely love this wonderful handcrafted pendant by Lia of Sequoia Silver. Beautiful detail of redwood tree and mountain - stands out wonderfully. Hangs on sturdy sterling silver chain. Lia is first class: great communication; packaging of item; quick transaction. Two thumbs up on her efforts supporting conservation groups in the central coast! Ten stars!!

Frequently asked questions
Processing and shipping
All items are ready to ship within 1-3 business days. If you purchase more than one item, I will combine shipping charges and refund you the difference.
Delivery time will depend on your location. Items are shipped with USPS. For US buyers, tracking information is available. For international buyers, tracking is only available until the shipment leaves US borders. After that, there is no way to track the item or estimate delivery. Delivery could range from 1 week to 30 days. Any customs charges are the responsibility of the buyer.
I cannot be responsible for loss, damage or late delivery.
Returns and exchanges
I do my best to accurately reflect each item with the pictures and descriptions. Be sure to read the descriptions and double check sizing before making a purchase. If you have any questions about the item, please let me know!
Due to the nature of running a small, handmade business you should consider your purchase non-returnable. However, if you have any issues with your item, please contact me right away so we can find a solution.
Ring resizing
Rings may be sized up to no more than 1/2 size free of charge. This simply involves hammering the band around a mandrel to stretch the metal.
Resizing a ring to larger than this or smaller involves taking the ring apart and creating a new band. The process of taking the stone out risks damaging the stone and bezel; for this reason, I do not offer the option to resize an existing ring. However, if you are interested in a custom order of a similar design, just contact me to let me know!
Jewelry care
Silver naturally tarnishes over time. Many of my pieces have been intentionally oxidized to create dark areas that are part of the design. Use a polishing cloth to clean your piece, taking care to avoid polishing the stone, as well as areas that are intentionally oxidized/darkened.
Store your pieces in an area with low humidity or in small ziplock bags to slow tarnishing.
Take pieces off before washing hands, showering, cleaning, swimming, working out, putting on lotion or makeup, etc.
