"This little tree frog is just too cute! His name is Skeeter. I sculpted this little tree frog as if he was ready to jump at whatever came his way... a mosquito, a moth, or that pesky little fly."


Skeeter is more than jewelry; he is a tiny, fierce warrior, hand-sculpted with passion to represent transformation, resilience, and luck. Wear him as your daily talisman, reminding you to be ready to leap at life's opportunities!

Hand-Sculpted Rose Ring with Pink Sapphire by Dawn Vertrees


Every petal on this ring was born in fire. Using the centuries-old lost-wax method, I sculpt a real rosebud in wax, layer by delicate layer, until the bloom feels alive on your finger. Then the wax vanishes in the kiln, replaced by molten metal that captures every curl, every vein, every whisper of nature.

Choose Your Metal, Choose Your Mood
• Sterling Silver – crisp, cool, everyday poetry
• 14K White Gold – sleek modern romance
• 14K Yellow Gold – warm sunshine on petals
• 14K Rose Gold – the original “Rosegold bloom” glow
• 18K White, Yellow & Rose Gold – ultimate luxury upgrade
Rosegold Bloom Edition – because love should blush.

The Heart of the Rose: Pink Sapphire
A single natural pink sapphire (approx. 4 mm, ~0.35 ct) nestles in the center like morning dew. Its delicate blush mirrors the rose itself—symbol of passion, tenderness, and promises that last.

Details at a Glance
Ring Width (band): 3.5 mm
Rose Head Diameter: ~12.5 mm
