Gold Luster, Turquoise and Sapele

{Sid's Turquoise and Sapele Wayfarer}

We can't help ourselves, we love stones and rocks, almost as much as we love wood and veneer. And after the incredible response we got from the first pair, and listening to feedback, we decided to make the wayfarers with a black frame. Doug also used a beautiful gold luster to fill in the cracks and give them a bit of sparkle. They really do shimmer just enough to make you feel fancy.

The Sapele {suh-pee-leh} is a softer veneer than mahogany and has a bit of shimmer to it too. We thought we should just go all out with these and make them as unique and stand alone as possible! I think it worked!

We're so proud of these, and can't wait to make more! It's so crazy to think that the possibilities are endless when it comes to what we do. Wood, stone, snakeskin, who knows whats next! Hope you love them too!

Happy Tuesday!

Sid's Turquoise and Mahogany Wayfarers

Oh hello! I know I told you that we had a few more things us our sleeves...I wasn't kidding. Don't worry all y'all people waiting for your orders to arrive on your doorstep, we are working into the night on those, but Doug took some time in addition to his regular work days the last few days to finish these beauties. The really, really special thing is that they are the only ones, ever. Like ever EVER. We may do something similar on black frames, and certainly will be working more with turquoise, but since we just used our last aqua frames for a special lady and don't plan on getting any more any time soon, this is it my friends. Here are Sid's Turquoise and Mahogany Wayfarers.

These are made with the Turquoise that we got from Sid and hold a special place in our heart. It's going to be hard to let them go...but I can't wait for them to find their forever home. Just wanted to share that with you. We're busy burning the midnight oil tonight. Happy Monday!

Something Special // Fawn's Turquoise Clubmasters

This season, we're doing something extra special with our collection. Doug is using a very special collection of Turquoise to create a mosaic of sorts to the fronts of our classic clubmasters. Our friend Sid, a jewelry maker in Tucson, gave us a mason jar full of turquoise from a shop he had in the 1970s with his wife, Fawn. His beautiful wife passed away about 2 years ago, and in her memory, we named these sunglasses "Fawn's Turquoise Clubmasters."

They are a bit more rustic and handmade looking than our veneer glasses, but they have so much character and life in them, we are in love. It has been such a treat to introduce so many new styles and creations for this season, I have a feeling we won't stop creating new styles as the season goes on.

We will definitely be able to make several of these, but supplies are limited! We would love to know what you think!

PS, here is a photo of Sid and Doug from our last visit to Tucson. I know I've shared it before, but here it is again.

Rustic Leather and Turquoise Rings

Our newest project.

Available in the shop.

Sorry, I've been a bit behind on updates. I have a review of True Grit and a New Years post, and a how-to guide for responsible shipping for your small business. Probably not all today, but before Wednesday, since I picked up a few extra shifts this week at work. Yay! Hope everyone had an excellent holiday.
