SOURCE D'AMOURStone & Silver
MenuClose

A two maker studio in Tempe, Arizona

We cut the stone and handcraft the silver that holds it.

Source D'Amour is two people. Jeremy runs the saw and the wheel, turning rough into slabs and cabochons. Les facets stones, sets them, and does the metalwork. Veteran owned. Every piece is one of one.

Gary Green Jasper Gary Green JasperJasper$50 / pieceOne of one View piece Hubei turquoise pendant Hubei turquoise pendantTurquoise, Sourced from Hubei, ChinaHubei turquoise, cut and set by Les. The stone runs blue into green across its face with the matrix drawing through it. Hubei is the material most people picture when they picture turquoise, and a good piece of it holds its own against anything.$350 / pieceOne of one View piece Banded Rhyolite Jasper Banded Rhyolite JasperJasper$50 / pieceOne of one View piece Willow Creek jasper piece Willow Creek jasper pieceJasper, Sourced from private property north of Eagle, IdahoWillow Creek jasper from a private claim north of Eagle, Idaho. This is a porcelain jasper, pulled from thundereggs embedded in rhyolite, and only a fraction of those eggs carry the jasper core worth cutting. The mine is still active but access is limited. We slabbed this one in the shop and let the stone decide the rest.$325 / pieceOne of one View piece New Lander Turquoise New Lander TurquoiseTurquoiseNewlander turquoise set in a brushed sterling silver pendant. The stone carries a quiet blue with tight matrix, and the brushed finish on the silver keeps the focus on the stone rather than the metalwork. A straightforward pendant, finished and ready to wear.$375 / pieceOne of one View piece Brecciated Owyhee jasper pendant Brecciated Owyhee jasper pendantJasper, Sourced from Owyhee Mountains, Oregon and IdahoBrecciated Owyhee jasper from the Owyhee Mountains straddling the Oregon and Idaho border. The brecciation gives it those angular, fractured sections where the original stone broke apart and reformed with mineral fill, creating a natural mosaic in tans, browns, and rusts. Jeremy cut it at the bench here in Tempe, from American rough.$280 / pieceOne of one View piece Willow Creek porcelain jasper pendant Willow Creek porcelain jasper pendantJasper, Sourced from Eagle, IdahoWillow Creek jasper with an antique finish, made by Les. It is a porcelain jasper found on private ground north of Eagle, Idaho, and it comes out of thundereggs, only some of which hold the good core. The pastels and the orbs are why people hunt it.$395 / pieceOne of one View piece Green chalcedony pendant + earring SET Green chalcedony pendant + earring SETTurquoise, Sourced from CaliforniaA matched set of green chalcedony from an active California claim, cut into a pendant and earring pair. The color runs from apple green into turquoise blue, brought out by nickel in the host soil. Les set each stone in silver, keeping the focus on that natural shift in hue. A clean set that reads quiet on the neck and catches light at the ear.$650 / setOne of one View piece

Provenance matters

We research the history of every stone.

Much of our material comes from old collections, so we trace what we can: the mine, the era it was likely sourced, how it came to us. Ask about any piece and we will tell you what we know.

The workshop

We cut the stone ourselves.

A rock only becomes a stone when someone decides what it will be. We make that decision ourselves, at the saw, with the material in hand. Nothing here was picked from a catalogue of stones that somebody else already cut.
