Who are we?

Earth art Gem and Jewelry is a tiny little home run business.  Just two of us!  If you are looking to spend your money locally, it does not get much better than this.  We are dedicated to buying as many of our materials as possible from domestic and local vendors and merchants.  We live on the Central Coast of California, a beautiful and inspiring place for an artist.

I am Austin Moore and I have a degree in Architecture from Cal Poly and I also run a design and drafting business.  I created earth Art, with Shasta as a way to offer unique and beautiful jewelry to those that appreciate something a bit different.  I am completely self taught.  No classes, not mentor, just me, and my work bench and my tools.  Everything that I make is done by hand and I take great pride in my work.  When you work with Earth Art, you are working directly with me, the artist.  The silversmithing business is now a huge part of my life and I love every minute of it!

I am Shasta Palmer and I have a masters degree from Cal Poly in Industrial and Technical studies... so I know you're thinking... How does that relate to jewelry and rocks?  They are my passion, I love to work with unique stones and create one of a kind pieces.  I also am in charge of our Legends Collection which is made up of hand picked stones.  I do a lot of lapidary work and I enjoy working with anything that is unusual and unique.  I also do silver smithing and I enjoy working with larger stones the most.  I am also the creator behind "Rocks Gone Wild", a website devoted to selling amazing gems and cabochons!
