New Pieces, New Stones, Commission News...
It's been a little bit, hasn't it?
I think it's time to share some of the new stones I've been amassing. I've been releasing stones less and less, taking on less commissions so they can be wrapped up quicker. This has proved to be a science; something I'm still tweaking. Commissions are still taking longer than I would like, and lengthening regular production times of "made to order" pieces in the shop as well. There's much more involved: hashing concepts and designs out, spending hours getting back to conversations and inquiries, sketches, etc. that I do not charge for.
Because of this I will be making a monthly commission amount cap. This will change slightly depending on what the commissions are and how much extra time will be involved for each. I want people to enjoy the process and I love doing them so folks get exactly what they're hankering for, and I'd like them to not have to wait as long to receive it either! To make this process faster and easier I'll also soon be drafting up a little form for folks who are interested in custom orders to fill out... basic info that sometimes takes me awhile to get from potential customers that can draw out the process. More on this soon.
In the meantime, here they are!
New all natural stones as listed, some freshly cabbed straight from the mine owners, some old stock. If interested in any of these please shoot me an email: stasia@thestrayarrowjewelry.com, or convo me on Etsy.
Note that as usual, until a solid design is nailed down and agreed upon, and a deposit is paid, no stones can be reserved.

The Stray Arrow for Free People!
Remember all of that quiet hinting in the past few months? News is on the way...news is on the way...
WELL.
Here it is.
Free People are now carrying one of my signature rings-
my Chained in Turquoise Arrow Vane Rings, which they are labeling as
"Chained Turquoise Arrow Ring".
They will be sold both online and in some physical stores, including the shop on 5th Ave. in NYC.
For these rings I curated some top natural turquoise pieces, and each ring has the mine name stamped inside the band for authenticity. Mines include Fox, Blue Moon, Candelaria, Skyline...all high grade succulent pieces. I cannot express the level of excitement I've been feeling since Free People reached out to me. It's because of you reading this, and everyone who has supported me on this path that this could even become a reality instead of some distant dream. It hasn't been an easy road trying to do what I love full time and make it work. Being the creator and sole runner of a business has it's downsides, but the reward of not just doing what I love but being able to share it with those who also enjoy it is worth everything. Thank you all for stickin' with me, giving me support and exposure, and taking a peak into my world of myth, stone, and metals.
with much love and appreciation ((and a decent amount of gleeful squealing))

Eye Candy.
No. This isn't a post about rocks.
There will be one down the line, but not today!
I've been spending some time going over old photos, admittedly clearing space on my computer. I thought I would share some old and new that may not have made it to item listings, social media posts, or just been swept under the carpet of time...
**************************************
I hope everyone has had a lovely Holiday Season, whichever you choose to celebrate!
For future notice on a packaging change:
I used to send all bangle bracelets and bracelets in general in plain sweet little muslin bags. They'll now be going out a bit more spruced up, as such:
