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.

From the ground to the finished pieceWe haul the rough, cut it, and set it ourselves.

Brecciated Morrisonite Jasper in an aged silver finish.Jasper, Sourced from Owyhee River Canyon, Malheur County, OregonBrecciated Morrisonite from the Owyhee River Canyon in Malheur County, Oregon, set in an aged silver finish. The stone shows the classic angular fragmentation that gives brecciated Morrisonite its name, with broken fragments of jasper recemented in contrasting matrices of warm and cool tones. The aged silver complements the stone's natural palette without competing with it.$680 / pieceOne of one View piece Mexican Crazy Lace Agate Mexican Crazy Lace AgateAgate, Sourced from Chihuahua, Mexico$60 / pieceOne of one View piece Agatized dinosaur gembone piece Agatized dinosaur gembone pieceFossil (non-wood), Sourced from Morrison Formation (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico)Agatized dinosaur gembone from Utah, sourced from the Morrison Formation. Over millions of years the original bone material was replaced by silica, preserving the internal cell structure in agate. What you see in the pattern is the actual cellular architecture of ancient bone, frozen in stone. Jeremy cut this cabochon at the bench, and the cell structure reads clean and distinct across the face.$350 / pieceOne of one View piece Freedom Jasper Recovery Pendant Freedom Jasper Recovery PendantJasperRemember what you have been through with this beautiful piece$325 / pieceOne of one View piece Wonderstone pendant Wonderstone pendantObsidian / volcanic glass, Sourced from Wonderstone Mountain, NevadaWonderstone from Wonderstone Mountain, Nevada, set in silver.

The mine has been closed for years, so what is out there is what is out there. These three stones all carry the same lightning-vein webbing, dark against that classic blue ground, and we matched them as a set because they wanted to stay together. Set in sterling silver, cut and finished at the bench in Tempe.$850 / setOne of one View piece White Buffalo lightning turquoise SET White Buffalo lightning turquoise SETTurquoise, Sourced from Tonopah, NevadaLes has been holding onto these White Buffalo lightning turquoise stones from the active Tonopah, Nevada mine, waiting for the right idea to surface.

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.
