Time for a little bluegrass! Redbud Bluegrass Band on the Sunday Funday Stage with TWO free performances filled with banjo-pickin', string-strummin' tunes. While you enjoy the music shop around and see what treasures you can find. I am changing it up a bit today and you will find me in H29, just kitty corner to where I usually am. I will be bringing with me this gorgeous piece, a baroque freshwater pearl accented with black spinel and finished in 14kGF. Looks to be a beautiful fall day, perfect for strolling through the market. Take a deep breath and enjoy Autumn's wonders.

Baroque freshwater pearls are genuine, cultured pearls celebrated for their irregular, non-spherical, and organic shapes. Derived from the Portuguese word barroco (meaning an oddly shaped pearl), "baroque" describes the shape category rather than a specific pearl type. Unlike classic round pearls, which are often grown by inserting a perfectly round bead nucleus into a saltwater oyster, traditional freshwater pearls are tissue-nucleated. A tiny piece of donor mantle tissue is inserted into a freshwater mussel instead. As the mussel secretes layers of nacre around this organic tissue, the core shifts, collapses, or expands unevenly. Because there is no rigid sphere inside to dictate a round shape, the nacre builds up into unique, freeform contours. As a result, freshwater pearls are nearly 100% solid nacre, making them incredibly durable.

One more day to join the Octoberfest celebration! We are open till 5:00 today! So much going on, hope you can join us. These Brazilian, trillion-cut green amethysts (prasiolite) have that same clear, luminous quality, catching the light like raindrops clinging to new leaves. Set against the warm glow of my 14k gold-filled ear wires, the color feels both earthy and elegant. Just a little reminder of what spring does best: wash everything clean and leave the world sparkling.

Worn to make the wearer gentle and amiable. Amethyst powers include: dreams, healing, peace, love, spiritual upliftment, courage, psychism, protection against thieves, and happiness.
Green amethyst refers to a light green and transparent gemstone belonging to the mineral family of Quartz. It is also known as Vermarine, lime citrine, and more commonly prasiolite, which is a more apt name for the green form of amethyst. Most consumers are not familiar with prasiolite and refer to it as green amethyst.

"Subtleties" Simple at first glance, but look a little closer and there is more to discover. A softly squared black spinel, its corners gently rounded and its surface matte and velvety, reveals the subtle lines of a polished star within a star. It is just enough to pull you in for that second look—the kind of beauty that doesn't ask for attention, but quietly keeps it. Sometimes, less really is more. You can find this here: https://stonelinkdesigns.etsy.com/listing/4588241541/black-spinel-necklace-sterling-silver
I am taking a day today so I will not be at the market but will be preparing for the upcoming Octoberfest celebration coming up on Saturday and Sunday. Have a wonderful day, enjoy!

Black Spinel is the recommended gift for the 22nd wedding anniversary.
Black spinel has long been associated with protection, grounding, and inner strength. Spinel occurs in many colors, but black spinel is especially prized for its deep, velvety darkness and understated brilliance. It has been treasured for centuries and was historically mistaken for black sapphire and other dark gemstones.

"Autumn Falls" Instead of the perfect roundness we usually associate with pearls, the green keshi pearls are thin, irregular, and beautifully imperfect, layered one over another like tiny pieces of something gathered from the sea. The combination of soft green, copper, and aged gold feels earthy and sophisticated at the same time — organic enough for everyday wear, but unusual enough to feel like something you won't find everywhere.

Scenic City Wings is back at Chattanooga Market, and we’re bringing the heat! Six local restaurants are serving up their best wings, and YOU get to taste them all and vote for your favorite. Every wing ticket helps benefit the Chattanooga Area Food Bank! Thankful today for the rain so lets all enjoy this beautiful gift and do a little dancing in the rain. Let's have a Sunday Funday!

Named after the Japanese word for ‘poppy seed', Keshi pearls are generally small in size and irregular in shape. Keshi pearls are among the more unusual forms of cultured pearls. Unlike traditional cultured pearls, which are grown around an implanted bead nucleus, keshi pearls form without a bead nucleus. They are composed almost entirely of nacre, which helps give them their distinctive luster and wonderfully irregular shapes. These thin, flat freshwater keshi pearls are sometimes called “cornflake or petal pearls” because their unusual shapes can resemble delicate flakes. Their lack of uniformity is part of their beauty — no two have quite the same shape or surface.

Sometimes, maybe even most times, the star of the show is stone. They are all so amazing your only hope is to highlight them and hope you don't do a disservice. This lovely stone is a tube agate, perfect to start off the fall season. There is a little landscape hidden in this piece of agate — a sweep of ochre desert surrounded on three sides by pale cream mountains, as though the landscape is slowly closing in around it. Here and there, small pockets of crystal drusy appear in the stone, catching the light like tiny patches of sun on the distant hills. A few fine streaks of red move through the ochre, adding just enough color to make the scene feel alive. Appropriate for today it is the Harvest Festival at the market, complete with absolutely gorgeous weather and a full harvest moon. Come celebrate with us, enjoy the lovely day and look for some treasures to take home. You can find this piece here or today at the market. https://stonelinkdesigns.etsy.com/listing/4582949163/tube-agate-drusy-necklace-oxidized

Agate is formed slowly as layers of silica-rich material fill cavities within volcanic rock, creating the bands, colors and patterns that make each piece so individual. Druzy forms when tiny quartz crystals grow across a surface, giving certain areas of the stone their delicate sparkle. Agate has traditionally been associated with grounding, balance and protection, and its connection with the earth has made it a meaningful stone for centuries.

"A Drop in Time" Warring States-style agate, a distinctive type of agate associated with the ancient Chinese tradition of carved and banded agate beads. The name refers to the Warring States period of ancient China, roughly 475–221 BCE, when agate was among the stones used for beads and ornaments. The deep, earthy reds and browns and the unexpected shimmer of drusy give it the presence of an old talisman, while the long, graceful lariat lets the stone become the focal point. I paired it with an oxidized sterling silver chain, adding tiger eye and tiny touches of gold hematite asymmetrically along the chain. Nothing is perfectly balanced—and that is part of its charm. So lets travel the world without leaving Chattanooga! ✈️ Our International Food Court will be serving up delicious flavors inspired by cultures from around the globe — all alongside live music, local makers, fresh finds and more. Have a wonderful day and enjoy!!!

Agate has long been associated with grounding, protection, stability, and inner strength. Brown agate is often connected with the earth, steadiness, and a feeling of being rooted, while red agate has traditionally symbolized courage, vitality, and determination. The tiny white drusy crystals bring a completely different quality to the stone—light, sparkle, and the reminder that even something earthy and weathered can hold unexpected brilliance within it.

Green kyanite is a stone formed under tremendous pressure, yet retaining an almost delicate, leaf-like appearance. What makes green kyanite special is that it generally doesn't look overly polished or manufactured. Even when cut or polished for jewelry, it often retains some of the character of the original crystal. Its fibrous or bladed inclusions can create a lovely shimmer as the stone moves in the light. It has a wonderful old-world, woodland quality—something between a mineral specimen and a piece of nature. These are sterling silver, 14kGF and the beautiful kyanite in a baguette cut. The market today offers up "Top Chef" a favorite of mine. Here is the Chattanooga Top Chef Schedule:
11am Competitor Introductions
11:30-12:00 Competitors Shop
12:15-2:15 Competitors Cookaround
2:30 Judges Announce the Winner
Good luck to all, lets see who gets "Top Chef" this year!

Kyanite is an aluminum silicate mineral that forms under high-pressure metamorphic conditions, usually in schist and other metamorphic rocks. It is famous for its unusual hardness: it has different hardnesses depending on the direction in which it is tested. Along its length it is relatively soft, around 4.5–5 on the Mohs scale, while across the crystal it can reach about 6–7. This directional hardness is one of kyanite's defining mineralogical characteristics.
Green kyanite is commonly associated with growth, renewal, balance, and connection to nature. Because green is traditionally linked with the heart and with the natural world, green kyanite is often interpreted as a stone of emotional healing, compassion, generosity, and opening oneself to change.
One particularly fitting aspect of its symbolism is its association with adaptability and finding balance. Kyanite forms in environments of considerable geological pressure, and its unusual crystal structure gives it different hardnesses in different directions. Modern crystal traditions sometimes turn that physical characteristic into a metaphor: remaining flexible without losing your essential nature.
Green kyanite is found in several places around the world, with notable material coming from Brazil, Nepal, India, Tanzania, and parts of the United States. Brazilian green kyanite is particularly appreciated for its translucent green blades and attractive natural formations.

Some things are meant to be found. "Trapped", takes you back to an untold story of survival and escape, the things we leave behind, the places that once sheltered us, and what becomes visible when we finally open the door and explore the world around us. This is a Shiva eye shell, the natural, protective calcareous "trapdoor" (operculum) of the Turban sea snail paired with a fine silver bail and accents of picture jasper. Celebrating Labor Day and the annual Food Truck Festival at the market today. Take the day relax, try some new cuisine and enjoy the "fruits of your labor". Just a note to say my shop will be closed until Friday, taking a short break!


The shell gets its name because its two sides look completely different, beautifully blending mathematics, biology, and spirituality. The Shiva Eye Shell, also known as the Pacific Cat's Eye, is not actually a standalone seashell, but rather the calcified "trap door" (operculum) of the Turban sea snail. Found in the tropical waters of Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia, this unique structure serves as a protective barrier that seals the snail inside its main shell to ward off predators. When the snail reaches the end of its natural life, the operculum detaches and sinks to the seabed, eventually washing ashore. Named after the Hindu deity Lord Shiva, the eye side symbolizes his Third Eye, which represents higher consciousness, universal wisdom, and the flow of life. Because it literally resembles an eye, it has been used for centuries across different cultures as a powerful talisman to ward off the "Evil Eye" and reflect negative energies away from the wearer. Historically dubbed "Mermaids' Money" by coastal folklore, it is considered a good luck charm for fishermen, sailors, and travelers.
