I've opened back up for US orders - taking things slow and I only have a few items listed at the moment, but bring on the shiny things!

(My test package arrived fine.. I pay the tariff with the postage so nothing has changed on your end, at the moment.)

Okay, tonight's inventory selections. There are two.

Today's featured work is a pendant built around a phenomenal ultra-high-grade black-web Kingman turquoise cabochon [shown below].

We have two cuffs set with the same type of turquoise, equally spectacular.

Wasn't expecting a local story! I had vaguely heard of that one but I forgot it was so severe.

"Going to the Middle East" - Is that the new "He's in a better place"?

Thank you everyone for your support - just over a week to go and I'm more than halfway there. Fingers crossed.

I need to come up with about £400 in the next 2 weeks to pay rent and bills.

That's about 400 single wallpapers.
Or 80 mini bundles.

Excellent! The 6 minute walk might be the only thing I've ever done homework for, I made a playlist of roughly 6 minute songs so I could practice.

Weirdly enough, I think this works. No one is more insecure than a new ICE agent. They want to be the blonde guy in DHS’s AI Nazi posting so badly. Instead, they’ll be guarding indistinguishable suburban warehouse #16361 while inflated frogs and dinosaurs thrust in their face all day every day.

(Added a couple of pendants to my jewellery shop too, that's complicated until I know how fast things will process, but on we go!)

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
