LEARN ABOUT THE HALE’S AT BOTTOM OF PAGE! And even though it’s very time consuming, this is a valuable asset to have, especially when you want a specific size or shape! Lapis is extremely dense & is not the easiest to cut, but with their work, they make it look so easy! These are designed where the large Lapis tear drop cut is anchored from a high domed-round cabochon of Lapis & allows the drop to move with ease.. The Lapis are perfectly shaped & mirrored to perfection & with these cuts, you can witness the gold pyrite in them that is known to good Lapis. Each of the Squash Blossom dangles are made from scratch & it’s these, that give them their obvious SW edge! Perfect earring to pair with other Lapis pieces, Squash Blossom necklace or whatever else you find to wear them with! Because of the size & density of the Lapis, these do have some weight, so please be aware of this before purchasing.

Clarissa is a jeweler who’get’s it & understands the why’s, the how’s, the what’s when it comes to jewelry.. She is the epitome of a’true’ artist who definitely knows what she’s doing & WHY she is doing it! Clarissa has been designing & making jewelry since the age of 13 & It was either playing out in the yard for Clarissa or working inside helping Mom.. Good thing for the industry, she chose working inside! Kachina out of sheets of metal, when father in law David Lister, told him that welding was similar to making jewelry out of silver. That sparked an interest in Vernon making jewelry & soon after”V & C Hale” then was created! V & C has been collaborating since 2002.
