They are inspired by the beauty of wonky home improvements and things that are on the cusp of being utilitarian. More to come.

It is available for sale in my shop http://leslieshershow.bigcartel.com/ and at my studio at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. Custom colors are available as well- just ask!

Adam and I worked together to design a ring that we thought Stacy would like. Luckily, she did! It is 18K gold with a brown diamond, made from recycled metal and an ethically sourced diamond. In lieu of this, I decided to post other engagement rings I’ve made in the past. My anxiety in creating the rings show- the pictures I took of them are HORRIBLE, as I was too eager to send them to their owner than to spend time setting up a good shot. Oh well.



This ring was mostly designed by the customer- a palladium and diamond engagement ring, surrounded by wedding bands.

This is his matching wedding band in matte palladium.

This ring was for a friend who wanted an engagement ring with a raw diamond in it. It is palladium with a raw diamond in the center, dusted with flush set diamonds on the sides.


This ring goes along with the raw diamond ring.

I hand cut the garnet in the center.

I love growing gems! It is neat seeing how “make your own gem” kits react to copper.

This piece is a little collage of gems. It is made from sterling silver, clear acrylic (back), garnets, smoky quartz, and I’m not sure what the far right gem is…
