Bonnie is fantastic! About a year ago I told her I was looking for a specific style of turquoise squash blossom necklace for my wife and asked her to keep an eye out for one. She certainly did and eventually found a 50 year old, vintage, handmade, beautiful piece that was right at my price point (and probably worth twice that!). My wife better not be reading this because she'll be blown away when I surprise her with it. We started using her to repair and improve our favorite turquoise and heritage jewelry - and she performed that work at a MUCH higher quality and more reasonable price than any other place we tried in town.

And it showed in the end result. It was absolutely perfect!
I am in love with my new wedding ring and I feel so thankful to have found such a remarkably talented, gracious and kind individual to bestow her art upon my hand for such an important piece of jewelry. I highly recommend using Bonnie for any...
Read moreWe are from St. Louis and had been dating for about 10 years when we decided to get engaged while in Denver. We were not interested in a "typical", mass-produced engagement ring. We wanted something unique to us. We thought of trying to find a local artist and as luck would have it, we found Sowilo. We stopped in to see Bonnie and discussed our interests. She assured us she could design and make something for us from the Herkimer diamond we picked from her offerings. Our expectations were exceeded. She designed this amazing wedding set, just from talking with and getting to know us during our visit with her. This picture does NOT do it justice. I have gotten so many...
