"Anna Sheffield came to jewelry design by way of sculpture, and her Southwestern roots and interest in indigenous crafts shine as brightly as the gemstones she works with. Her eye for unique color combinations—a rose gold band with grey diamonds, for example—and passion for unique stones (faceted quartz, black opal, every imaginable shade of diamond) result in wholly original, modern fine jewelry that combines classic elegance with inspired, left-of-center design. Add a one-of-a-kind ring to your stack, take home a pair of diamond and chalcedony drop earrings, or make an appointment to design a custom piece (the shop gets busy on weekends). Another reason we love it: The brand goes a step beyond responsible sourcing. Yes, they use only conflict-free stones, but they also use only reclaimed melee (the teeny diamonds that add sparkle) and recycled gold, and offer antique diamonds and settings on request."
