WELCOME TO ISSUE 23 OF
THE [PALM] SUNDAY TIMES
Yes, this issue is two days late! Surprise! I worked at the bench through the weekend and I'm happy to report that all orders will go out before I leave! Only orders placed between today and July 15th will experience a delay. That did not leave me much time to compose a newsletter, but I didn't want to close up shop for the summer without one final update.
In this issue I'll introduce you to the first ring for Paradiso Pt. II that is now available for pre-order, I'll announce the date for my first in-person market in over a year, and show you some gorgeous photos from a recent Fontanella photoshoot.
So pour yourself a cup of tea and get comfy.

THE PARADISO RING
THE FIRST RING OF PARADISO PT. II
I'm so excited to be able to release this ring before I leave. It is one of my favorite non-gemstone rings I've made and I can see myself wearing it 24/7 this summer! You might recognize the silhouette- it was carved as a replica of the Coral Dome Ring from Pt. I and I just love how it came out. These rings are hollow but HEFTY and the shape is so decadent. It is available in Sterling Silver or 14k Fairmined Yellow Gold. The stated lead time is 4-6 weeks but I imagine they'll ship closer to the first week in August if ordered this week.
OXFORD EXCHANGE GIFT BAZAAR
COME SHOP THE JEWELS
As I stated earlier, the studio will be closed through July 15th, but once I'm back and caught up, I'll be ready to meet you IRL at Oxford Exchange in Tampa. On July 24th (a Thursday evening at 6:30), they'll be having their second annual Christmas in July Gift Bazaar. I'll be there with lots of jewelry, antiques, and more. I'd love to see you! Please RSVP if you plan to attend.
That's all for July! I'll be back in August with notes and photos from my break abroad.
Thanks so much for following along.
