2013

What a year 2012 has been. So much growth. So much creation. We have a storefront studio now... which rocks. The new designs in store for 2013 are fantastic. We work in all metals now... silver, gold, platinum. The new location allows us to share the stories of our clients in a whole new way. Face to face. They see what we do as we do it, and they even get to be a bigger part of design. Here's hoping that 2013 is everything we know it can be.

LEATHER & SILVER GUITAR PICK BRACELET

This new custom, handmade design, exclusively by RSO is a radical creation and a reminder of an even more radical time. Hand-Pounded, Sterling Silver wrapped, AC/DC Guitar Picks, hand-stitched with 20 gauge sterling silver wire, to the classic black leather band, and the Skull shaped double-snap closure, make this bracelet one of our most spectacular yet.

Sure to impress, this one-of-a-kind exclusive design makes the perfect gift for that special rocker, guitarist, of music lover in your life!

You may have noticed a small change to our website www.rsojewelry.com , which has taken place this week. We are now officially set up with new site design and shopping cart, so anyone can purchase their favorite RSO designs directly from our website, without having to goto through eBay.

We are pretty excited about this and are just in the beginning stages of redesigning the site, so please bear with us as we get all of our products listed. As always, we appreciate your interest in our products and designs. If you see something you like, or don't see what you're looking for, please give us a call at 219-201-3547, or email us at rsoriginals@me.com, and we'll be happy to discuss a custom design just for you. Happy shopping!

It Has Been A While!

It's been a while. We know. Busy lives equal compromises we often wouldn't make otherwise. Our apologies to our readers. New to RSO, we have up and coming leather and silver designs, sure to please! A new "Then, Now, and Always" necklace has been introduced. You can see pics of it on our facebook page. Also check out or website at http://www.rsojewelry.com because we will be updating it soon with new and creative designs. On another note, Avarie and I have just gotten married, so now our business partnership and loving relationship has come full circle and developed into an upcoming lifetime of happiness and joy, and true partnership. I Love You Ava! Please feel free to comment, view, post, or contact us with any questions, concerns, suggestions, likes, dislikes, or anything of the sort. We are always looking for new friends and clients to share our custom handmade designs with. Thanks Again! Rob & Ava

Gem show...great for networking and inspiration...

So today was a great day for RSO... we went to our first big gem show. It was a great place to meet contacts and find some really unusual components. So we'll be busy contacting all of our great new contacts in the coming week to work on networking and cross promotional opportunities.

There were so many stories the vendors knew about the origin of the beads... from the far reaches of the world... it will most certainly help the creative process.

Other than that, it's a great place to hand out cards and show off some of our favorite pieces.

Can't wait to go to the next one!

Is that you over there in that chair?

Jewelry making and colors and textures and metals and tools are awesome... as is staring longingly into the windows of a perfect storefront, sketching mental pictures of the future... but those things alone don't make the business. There's always a need to update or revamp the website... product descriptions, sales trending, branding, purchasing and billing... paying bills... hearing the computer proclaims zero hours night after night. All of it is necessary and beneficial and quite frankly... tiring. Steps forward and back and forward and back... but here's the kicker... Over there across the desk, or in the chair across the living room at midnight is the motivation. The desire to move forward. Each other. And for that... I guess we'll happily press on... :)
