New Stones

I got some new sunstones yesterday - all are a tad lighter in person than in the pics (on my monitor at least)...

Oregon sunstone, 5.5mm (0.53 carat)

Oregon sunstone, 6mm (0.57 carat)

Oregon sunstone, 6mm (0.81 carat)

Oregon sunstone, 6mm (0.83 carat)

Oregon sunstone, 6mm (0.94 carat)

Oregon sunstone, 7mm (1.14 carat)

Oregon sunstone, 7mm (1.43 carat)
This will hopefully inspire me to buy the $350 tool I need to set square cushion cut gemstones (and practice, practice, practice my technique - other shapes are harder to set than rounds...)

And finally a lone Arizona garnet (5.5mm; 0.73 carat)

New Work

Fair trade Zultanite, recycled 14k palladium white gold, and recycled 14k green gold stacking rings, size 6-6.5

I cannot tell you how much I looooove working with Zultanite. It is awesome! And I love combining it with green gold - I think it brings out the greens in the stone so nicely.

The other day I got a bee in my bonnet about trying some really simple ring designs that would simply and elegantly showcase the various kinds of gold I work with. Here's what I came up with -


I think they look pretty cool all stacked up together, but here are some photos of each individually as well (click the links for more pics) -
