The ground comes first.
I’m Nadia. I dig the stones and make the settings.
A small bench.
A whole mountain.
I started Arrow & Ore in Mount Ida in 2016. A day at the mine and a day at the bench ask for different kinds of patience. I like both.
I use recycled sterling silver and 14k gold-fill. The quartz is natural, dug here in Arkansas. I don’t cut away its character to make a matching set.
Want something for a particular person? Tell me about them. We can find a stone and build a setting around it.
Made to go with you.
A ring should leave the box. These settings are made for wearing, but natural quartz still appreciates a little care. Take it off for digging, swimming and heavy work. Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth.
Each piece leaves the studio in a plain gray box, ready to give.
