The Real Deal -- Real Gemstones
Do you like sliced agate, kyanite, pietersite, bronzite, rhyolite, sodalite, jaspers, mookaite, lapis, turquoise, chrysocolla, charoite, lepidoliate, flourite, green aventurine, red aventurine, smoky quartz, clear crystal quartz (also called rock quartz), rainbow hickoryite, sardonyx, labradorite, amethyst, milky aqua, Russian amazonite, pyrite quartz, rutilated quartz, rhodocrosite, jade, carnelian, Botswana agate, chalcedony, mother-of-pearl and freshwater pearls? Do you love jewelry designs that are bold and a bit more feminine than usual? Jewelry that is sophisticated in a unique sort of way and always oh-so-wearable? Well, if you do, there's a good chance you'll like what you see here. It's no secret -- I am drawn to rocks and minerals from the earth and about eighty percent of my jewelry designs incorporate real gemstones in some way, shape or form. But, one big difference with my pieces is that I like to mix it up a bit, step away from the expected and toss fabulous gemstones with beautiful Czech glass and just see what comes from the adventure. In case you wondered, all pieces are hand-assembled right here in my studio in Oregon.
Just an example -- agate and onyx play really well with Czech glass beads in this bracelet...don't you think?
