If the answer isn't yes, it never leaves my bench.

Jewelry Care

Sterling silver naturally develops a soft patina over time.

A polishing cloth will restore its original shine.

Avoid harsh chemicals and store in a dry place when not worn.

Linda Blackbourn has spent decades creating handcrafted sterling silver jewelry centered around extraordinary natural gemstones.

Each stone is personally selected for its beauty before becoming a finished piece.

Designed and handcrafted in Baltimore.

Spiny Oyster was used by Native American artists to make inlays in fine jewelry. It comes from the shell of the bivalve mollusk, Spondylus various. Like many other bivalve mollusks, the soft, meaty interior of Spondylus is edible, so the Spiny Oyster’s valued for its hard, outer shell as well as its interior meat. Despite its name, the Spiny Oyster’s much more closely related to the scallop than to the true oyster.
