POSTS STORIES REELS

Who is Dillon/Rose? The name is the union of our middle names, representing our collaboration. While I began the jewelry making adventure and continue leading the studio today, DILLON/ROSE would not exist without my husband, Seth Dillon. Not because I couldn’t do it alone but because doing it myself, alone, would limit my own ambition and success. Two creative minds are better than one. Seth is critical, providing abundant feedback on design and processes. Though strong, he can be too forceful and has required my assistance understanding the delicacies and tenderness necessary to cautiously melt metal or maneuver tiny gemstones. Beast meet beauty. In contrast, my patience and disposition caters to a relaxed client experience, allowing big decisions to feel comfortable. Connecting with people is the ultimate goal of any artist and I have a gift for it. Our strengths compliment our struggles, making us so much more resilient than either could be alone. Dillon/Rose is the sum of our beings, the best of both, a love child born of creativity. by @dillonrose

Community building and social arts practices have been woven into our work since the inception. Reflecting on a decade of Dillon Rose reminds me of the many collaborations that make our work richer, catalyzing creative exploration and symbiotic relationships. Hopefully the community is richer because we invest in it, we challenge it, we request that it blossom alongside us. Grateful for a community that so often says yes to my requests.

🌹💎 by @dillonrose

Ten years ago today Dillon Rose was born in a small craftsman home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Much like giving birth to a human, this endeavor has pushed us beyond what we thought was possible. Striving, enduring, celebrating and satisfying are all words that come to mind. Creating talismans of love and connection is the gift we give and receive. Even if we were closing forever today we would be proud of the effort. We are humbly grateful to continue creating and investing in our passion. We know we couldn’t do it without you. We look forward to the unknowns of tomorrow, next year and the unknowable next decade of Dillon Rose and the stories to be told in metal and stone.

AUSTRALIAN OPAL 🌈⚡️ by @dillonrose

30 to 40 million years ago, silica dissolved in the deserts of Australia and formed orderly microscopic silica spheres that hardened into precious opal. A human opal hunter then dug into the earth to find this rock and carefully transported it to an expert cutter. The uniformity of green in this opal is incredibly rare and it is only able to be captured by a very talented stone carver who can follow this vein of opal and give it a uniform polish. The rarity of material and expert craftsmanship together make this opal as valuable as it is.

When love tempts your heart, let it in, let it swallow you whole for a moment if it will. Our lives are too brief to sit in the dark fearing unknowns or awaiting perfect futures.

A prismatic evening of delight. Delectable food by @aimeerosehunter @prismcafetulsa inspired by gemstones and a beautiful setting to share my fascination with earthen treasures. Through the evening lapidary artist @keithcler and I shared incredible, rare gem specimens and our experience working daily with these materials by hand. Education, art, wonder and food. Collaboration makes life richer, more flavorful, a spectrum🌈 the evening was a true delight and a great way to celebrate my new Gemologist knowledge. by @dillonrose
