CHRISTMAS


I have been making this orange pomander in the shop for the last two days. It's taken forever but the smell of cloves & orange is so lovely, warm and evocative of Christmas that I have really enjoyed the process.
We are here until 6pm if you need any last minute goodies.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
love
Corky

SPINEL

We have soldered a gorgeous uncut spinel into one of our much loved Anatomical Heart lockets. The intense colour of the spinel is evocative of a drop of blood.

LABRADORITE

Labradorite is an unusual stone from Labrador, Canada. It shifts colours, moving through shades of grey, pink, brown and purple. The stones often have black or brown inclusions which make the iridescence (or labradorescence as it is also called) more intense.

We have new bezel set labradorite rings at Corky Saint Clair. We have rough cut our labradorites which captures the light, making the stones seemingly glow.

Please watch the video I posted yesterday, to see the ring in action.

WOLF

A lonewolf is a wolf that lives independently rather than with others.

In the animal kingdom, lone wolves are typically older wolves driven from the pack, perhaps by an alpha male, or young adults in search of new territory. 


Rather than openly challenge the dominance of the pack leaders, many young wolves between the ages of one and four years leave their family to search for a pack of their own.


Some wolves will simply remain lone wolves; as such, these lone wolves may be stronger, more aggressive and far more dangerous than the average wolf that is a member of a pack.


Occasionally, a lone wolf will encounter another lone wolf of the opposite sex, and the two may start a new pack.

Sterling silver "Lone Wolf" $120AUD. Available from Corky Saint Clair or here

HERKIMER

Our Herkimer pendants are sparkly, perfect examples of how stunning artefacts created by the natural world can be.

These uncut stones are naturally faceted (which is extremely rare). Each one has 18 facets regardless of size.

Our new range of Herkimer Minis are proving to be even more popular than the originals. These new stones measure 9mm from tip to tip.

They are graded and priced according to how clear each stone is. 

We have presented each one on a 50cm Italian sterling silver curb link chain.

FOX


Yesterday a quirky private school girl approached me and asked why people wear foxes. I said to her
"The fox is associated with quick thinking and adaptability. Foxes are an awesome symbol to have when you are facing tricky situations as they are clever and sometimes cunning.

More importantly they have very sweet faces making them one of the cutest animals in the forrest."

She nodded, understanding now.

If you are a fox fan we have made some new sterling silver fox studs. Each fox is slightly different and they have been modelled to look like they are prancing through the thickets.
