FAQ

Rock Your World FAQ

Do you make your own jewelry? Will it look like the photo?

Yes. Our handmade pieces are built for daily wear, set with real stones, and designed to last. What you see is what you get—each item listing includes photos of the exact piece. Custom orders may vary slightly. We don’t use AI renders or bait-and-switch photos. Just real work, made with real hands.

Do you source your own materials?

We do. We own over 60 acres of Oregon mining claims and source as directly as possible, avoiding middlemen when we can. We also cut many of our stones ourselves. Learn more here.

Can I dig at your mines?

We’re working on it. Public fee digs aren’t available yet, but we offer licensed, bonded, insured rockhounding and beachcombing tours across Oregon. Check the Tours page for current options.

What’s your experience in this field?

Laura has been teaching geology and ID for over 25 years, with field knowledge that rivals many academic programs. Mike shifted from metalwork to mining and lapidary. Mac has been at this almost 10 years now and Nate is newer but fast to learn and one hell of a cutter. Together, we combine deep expertise with real-world skill.

When are your beachcombing tours?

Winter and Spring. Our Tours page has dates and booking info. We also offer private guiding year-round depending on tides and conditions.

How long have you been in business?

Since 2010 online, and 2011 in-store. We’ve been at this a while—and we’re not going anywhere.

Do you collaborate with other jewelers?

Sometimes. While most of what we sell is made by us or our team, we also feature work from trusted lapidary artists and metalsmiths.

Do you have a geology background?

Laura is a self-trained expert in Pacific Northwest geology, rock ID, and economic geology. She’s been doing field-based research since her teens and has taught hundreds of people how to identify rocks and read the land.
