Small Town Living & Making Jewelry with Natural Stones

Hello, I am Virginia Boshart. I live in Washington with my husband that I met and married here. We love small town living and enjoy all it has to offer. I have always been fascinated with rocks, stones, and crystals. Several years ago I started to learn about all the different types and what minerals they are made of. I purchased a rock tumbler and started tumbling rocks. I would rock hunt locally and on vacation, or order raw and cut stones from places across the oceans. That’s when I found my passion of making jewelry with natural stones in my free time. First bracelets, necklaces, then earrings – stones of all colors, shapes, and sizes. I also found it very interesting to learn the metaphysical information on each stone. While shopping on the Washington square I stopped in to Dodici’s Shop to see what all they had. I loved all the unique items offered, some of which were locally made. After going home I decided to go back to visit with Isabella (mgr./owner)to see if she would be interested in selling my natural stone jewelry.  Isabella said yes – now I enjoy coming up with new designs and ideas. I am very excited to have this opportunity and thankful for small town living.
