Well, here I am working on what will be a very showy cocktail ring. This will be large and light catching. When finished it will be cast in sterling silver and given a high polish and set with a large aquamarine if I can find one up to my specifications. Also I am going to embellish the surface with ancient [...]
Discussion of Larimar stone and how it will be used in the jewelry of Brett Garrett
Just completed my new logo design. I wanted to create something that reflected my classical training in sculpture and was yet simple and distinctive. I think this may fit the bill. In other areas I was approved last week for a grant to get casting equipment, Yipeee ! This was really a trying wait. But as always everything takes longer [...]

I wanted this design to have a wabi sabi feel but a down town look, and I think that this will be fantastically achieved in 18K gold or Argentium Sterling Silver…. Also, I’m going to feature feature 2 tube set stones with it [...]
Well, here we are at election day and undoubtedly at a serious crossroad. They are predicting a change back to tried and true economic practices with this election. I’m hoping so, as I am positioning myself to launch my jewelry design business. Economics play a big part and common sense in finance is important. That said, I’ve been daily designing [...]
