Sometimes stone preserves a story. Other times, it simply invites us to imagine one.

Echoes in Stone brings together two stones gathered along Lake Michigan, each carrying markings that make you stop and look a little closer.

The upper stone holds a visible fossil impression — a remnant of ancient life preserved within rock long before the Great Lakes landscape existed as we know it today. Below, a smooth skipping stone carries natural markings that almost seem to form a face, an accidental portrait created through mineral, water, weather, and our own imagination.

Between them, hand-shaped silver-toned wire twists and turns like a thread connecting past and present. An entirely silver-toned palette keeps the design intentionally simple, allowing the remarkable natural details of the stones to remain the focus.

It's a piece about memory, interpretation, and the traces left behind — some real, some imagined, and all part of the story we discover when we stop long enough to look.

“The earth leaves echoes everywhere. Some we recognize. Others ask us to imagine.”

Long before kitchens had walls, gathering around food was part of what brought people together.

The Gathering Stone pairs fossilized honeycomb coral with an unusually weathered stone whose broad, shallow depression recalls the grinding stones once used to prepare seeds, grains, herbs, and other gathered foods.

Above it, fossilized coral carries an even older story — remnants of ancient marine life preserved in stone. The two are connected through an expressive framework of hand-worked copper, creating a piece that seems to travel through time: ancient waters, weathered earth, and the enduring ritual of gathering together.

Rose-gold accents and warm tan suede soften the composition, while sections of rose-gold-toned chain add another layer of texture. At six inches long, this is an unmistakable statement piece — earthy, sculptural, and intentionally one of a kind.

“Across time, we have always gathered — around food, around stories, and around one another.”

Nature has never been particularly interested in making everything match.

Earth's Patchwork celebrates that beautifully. At its center is a conglomerate stone — often affectionately called a pudding stone — made from different fragments naturally gathered and bound together over time. Its changing textures and tones resemble a tiny patchwork quilt, each section contributing something different to the whole.

A smooth stacked stone and colorful wooden beads continue that playful mix of shape, color, and texture, while a decorative arrow bead adds just a touch of unexpected character. Brown waxed cord keeps the piece warm and earthy, finished with an easy-to-wear magnetic clasp.

It's cheerful, organic, and wonderfully imperfect — a little reminder that some of the most interesting things are created when different pieces find a way to belong together.

“Beauty isn't always found in matching pieces. Sometimes it's found in how beautifully the differences come together.”

Calm doesn't have to mean quiet.

Steady Current centers around a beautifully muted blue jasper, its soft blue-gray surface crossed by natural lines and subtle variations formed within the stone. Traditionally associated with grounding, tranquility, and steady energy, blue jasper gives this distinctly modern piece an earthy anchor.

Textured metallic beads in silver, gold, and antiqued tones bring unexpected detail to the design, while an oversized silver-toned front clasp becomes part of the composition rather than something meant to be hidden away.

The result is a piece built around contrast — calm with character, grounding with movement, and natural stone paired with a little bit of edge.

“There is strength in knowing when to move with the current — and when to simply hold steady.”

Two landscapes meet in one quietly organic piece.

Where Land Meets Sea pairs a whelk shell gathered along the Florida coastline with warm Great Lakes feathered jasper, bringing together the textures of ancient earth and coastal water. Natural wooden beads bridge the two, creating a subtle palette of sand, stone, moss, and weathered shell.

The brown suede cord is interrupted with antiqued copper details, adding warmth and an aged character that feels collected rather than polished. At just two inches, the pendant is understated compared with some of Lakelore's larger statement pieces — an easy-to-wear reminder of the places where earth gives way to water.

The shell once moved with the rhythms of the sea; the jasper carries a story written in stone. Together, they celebrate two very different journeys shaped by nature and time.

“Somewhere between solid ground and open water, we find the freedom to belong to both.”
