From working with ethically mined stones, to offering FairMined gold, “every day is earth day” around here. The expression is overused on this day, but it’s true. Did you know that the main reason I didn’t work with gemstones for the first decade of my career was that I could not find ethically/sustainably mined stones? The industry has come a long way, and I’m thankful. Some of my favorite materials which leave the smallest footprint are: artistically mined Montana sapphires, Idaho anthill garnet, and small-scale-mined Arizona turquoise, as well as (re)using customers heirloom diamonds!

Lots of new followers lately, so time for a reintroduction! I'm Luana (Lou-ah-nah) and am originally from Hawai'i. My mom was an artist and my father a builder & craftsman (both with a passion for horticulture & botany), and I've followed in their footsteps.

I am the lead goldsmith & designer here, and if you're familiar with my work, I too am fascinated with the earth and all it's wonders. Aside from my jewelry designs, you will also find my love for nature expressed in my herbalism skills (not shared much here on FB). I have been practicing the craft for over a decade and am currently enrolled in a year-long herbalism course, which takes up most me time outside of the jewelry studio. At my last house, I had a full herbalist garden, I feel kinda bad for whoever inherited my nettles patch after we moved out.

Also inherited from my parents is my passion for international travel. I keep trying to travel to as many countries as my age (I'm still about 8 away...) I'll get to dip my toes in some new locations later this year, more on that another time!

Let me know where we met (even if just here). I'm a big-time people person, and love hanging out IRL. I'll have a full docket of summer shows where I hope to meet you!

You never know when a design is going to be a hit or a sleeper. The New Moon Necklace had an interesting journey. Based on my popular Mahina Ring, I decided to design a similar necklace style. I released it and... nothing. Total sleeper. No orders, no intrigue, for almost a year. I was on the edge of discontinuing it when... an order came in. And then, another. Then a special request, and another. Huh, everything just happens in it's own time, right? On my site, you'll find only the version with black diamonds, but I'm happy to customize this darlin' with birthstones or a stone of choice. Shown here with white sapphires.
