Lapis Lazuli from Colorado, smokey quartz from Colorado, recycled 14k yellow gold

We had heard of Colorado mined lapis but had yes to believe the tales.  We have come across a small piece or so but with out a reliable source and story of its origin, we were hesitant to invest and believe. When our very trusted miner friends came to us with a connection to an old timer willing to sell us some of his prized Colorado lapis, we knew we had found our jackpot. We have an incredibly limited collection of this rare stone and will be creating select pieces over the next few years. When we say rare, we mean it. This is the most prized stone in the YITM collection. We are so happy to share it with you!

We believe that jewelry representing this wild gift of love should never involve tainted materials mined by children or from war torn nations. We are not distracted by beautiful shiny things that have dark and disastrous pasts. 

YITM proudly features recycled metals, recycled melee diamonds and 100% Americam mined inlay stones. 

We are proud that all of our inlay materials are sourced in raw, natural forms from the American West directly from miners who love what they do.

All jewelry requires care and attention. Our fine gold chains are beautiful and strong but are no match for a grabby toddler or a wild night. Remove your necklaces when working out, sleeping, calming wild children or generally anytme your chain could be yanked or pulled. More information is explained in our FAQ page.
