Courtney Berry Peterson grew up in New Orleans, LA and taught English and French to High School students after graduating from the University of New Orleans.

Lee Peterson grew up in Old Lyme , CT - the younger son of Roger Tory Peterson - and wrote the Peterson Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants after graduating from Johns Hopkins University.

They met on a PM Magazine shoot in the swamps of Louisiana, and united after a year of correspondence and visits.

Having come from varied back grounds to a 200 year old farm in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Courtney & Lee have created a studio that is producing very detailed natural history designs, as well as abstract ones. Using Sterling Silver, Brass, Copper and 14k Gold the hand worked pin/pendants, bracelets, and earrings have won the hearts of many longtime loyal customers.

"It seems we have touched an emotional feeling in our pieces that evokes an older kinder place in time", say Courtney. We do normal pieces: Bugs, birds, dogs, leaves, reptiles, horses, etc. but we also have fun with a bit of ironic tongue and cheek goofy pieces that appeal to an audience that is not inspired by the "normal stuff".

In the past Courtney has done specific pieces for groups such as The Womens' International Sailboat Races in Annapolis, MD, Mardi Gras Krewes in New Orleans, Boston Museum of Art, The National Colonial Dames, as well as many others.

We have the ability to create designs to fit the "look" and the pocket book of people needing large multiples for applications ranging from benefits to balls.

Abstract

These pieces are made by Courtney and Lee, each creation unique in design and with stones they have personally selected from gem shows across the country.

Unless other noted, all Pin / Pendants come with both a pin back and a bail, giving you the versatility to wear either as a pin or you can slip it on to your favorite neckring or chain to wear as a necklace.

NeckSlides are designed with 2 bails only on the back to comfortably slide on to our NeckRings or your own Omega or other type of chain.

OPAL MOSAIC: Borrowing from the ancient traditions of mosaic creation, Australian Mosaic Opal is a gemstone assembled from the individual fragments of fiery Australian opals. The finest pieces of opal that cannot be shaped into traditional gems are arranged against a dark field of material. The arrangement is agonized over so that the finished product will possess the expected opal play of color This is then capped with a layer of transparent resin or glass, both to protect the precious opal chips within and to allow more light to play across the shimmering surface of the opal gem composite. Once polished, the finished product can compare to the finest available specimens regarding color and fire.

BOULDER OPAL: Boulder Opal is a unique and beautiful opal found in Queensland, Australia. It is easily identifiable because it is a mixture of ironstone and opal either in a matrix or layered. Every stone is unique and they are arguably the most affordable opal available.
