Because everything I make is made by hand, it allows me to fully customize and personalize pieces.

This piece features the birthstones of March (semi-precious blue topaz in substitution for aquamarine), July (precious Ruby), and August (semi-precious peridot)…

What’s New At PhoenixFire Designs!
I desperately need to drum up some sales. Things have been so slow for over a week now and I’m honestly panicking looking at the dwindling balance in my account. With surgery 12 days away (and counting!) and $600 still to go, PLUS trying to build a little bit of a safety net while I’m…

Here’s a recent example I made for a customer: This one features May (dark green for emerald), July (bright red for ruby) and…

I researched some options for her and ultimately, we went with Rainbow Moonstone. It’s a really lovely, semi-opaque stone with an inner fire that sparkles…
