Mookite Swirl



This pendant is a faceted 32mm teardrop shade Mookite Jasper stone wrapped in gold-filled wire. The rich deep red of the stone and the bright gold have such a warm glow. The multiple loops make a beautiful and open bail while also allowing a delicate chain or a larger chain for hanging the pendant. The overall length is 2" and barely under 1 1/4" at the widest along the bottom.

Stuffing for Stockings

These sets are sold.

These little earrings are a few sets that were made for Christmas goodies. They use both sterling silver and gold-filled and range from jade, quartz, and jasper to aventurine, serpentine, and Austrian crystal accents.

Purple Dream



This pendant is a 35mm Charoite Kiwi Jasper Medallion wrapped in sterling silver.

The spirals, wraps, and curls lend an abstract look to this pendant. The stone has soft variation as a rich deep purple with darker flakes in the stone.

Old Blue Eyes

This Necklace was rather tricky to photograph because of the nature of the labradorite pendant. The pendant has a smokey gray color, but the brilliant blue flash covers the entire front surface. The labradorite was wrapped in sterling silver and hand tarnished for a deep aged appearance. This strung up so smooth and cool with the iolite anchoring it down and the moonstone echoing the blue flash of the pendant. The byzantine chain was hand woven by me as well as hand tarnished. The entire necklace measures 21" long with the pendant at exactly 2 " in length. The thin faceted iolite and slinky bynantine chain keep a delicate feel allowing the pendant to hold the focus, and the flash of the stone pulling the eye in further.
