I have been wanting to carve a dogwood SOMETHING for ages now. We have them all over Portland and ever year I take about 10 million blurry phone photos of my neighbors’ trees.
I decided to make a pendant (for me! And for you in my shop) This one I’ve cast into 19K rose gold, which has a really lovely peachy color, and I’ve set this first one with a warm rose-cut diamond & an Old European cut. Love these antique guys.
Many more pics after the click:

This was a custom re-design for a cool bright green jade piece my client sent me. It was to be remade into a pendant for his daughter, who was about to graduate from college.
I carved a little tree frog on the backside. She can decide if she’s feeling jade-ish, or frog-ish, and flip the necklace accordingly.
14K palladium white gold, jade, and a platinum chain.
