Montana Moon

       The Montana Moon is not the idea of a moon over Montana. It's not that the moon in Montana is any better than the moon we see hanging over any other state, but Montana is where I have connected with my life in so many ways than I could ever have dreamed.

       When I think of the Montana Moon it conjures up many memories for me.  Time spent growing up in many ways, under the Moon over Montana.  Some good memories and some I am happy to leave behind; but none that I would do without.  For it is my past that makes me who I am today, and I love who I have become.  

       Images strike clear inside my head of the many moons I have seen over Montana, along with the memories attaching themselves   
to those moments spent.

       But what does it mean to my jewelry?  My engraving?   My engraving and jewelry are small reflections of my time spent here in Montana.  The Montana Moon Collection represents the same reflection I have seen on the many lakes across Montana; like quick silver pouring out of

     Memories of the times spent here are shared and locked up inside those countless ripples of gold and silver.  I see a frozen moment, a portrait of a moment, one small reflection winking back through the glimmer of the silver and gold. Communicating a dance of sorts intertwined with precious metals and stones.   Not just my memories, for the jewelry containing a piece of me is just a beginning unto the wearer.   

       The Montana Moon Collection is not just the moon but it represents the many 
memories including those made with the Montana Sunshine.  In the end, when my life comes to its close, I will have left behind little reflections through my work; little whispers of a moments past and dreams of a moments future. 

         With mindfulness woven into each piece created, is the intent of traditions being passed down through the ages.  With a richness of  intertwined silver and gold there is a moment attached to each story told.  Let the moment begin here, and before your story is passed on, sit for a spell, & let this moment last for generations…  -Turtle
