opal, chalcedony, kyanite, prehnite, and bertrandite

i finished up some various pieces today, mostly using stones i got at the denver gem and mineral show.

the "i am the ocean" ring,
with the most beautiful opal


i am you: you are ME. you are the waves; i am the ocean.
know this and be free, be divine
(sri sathya sai baba)


i cannot capture the amazing flash in this stone with my camera...


the "love is a mirror" ring,
with an incredibly gorgeous, high dome, golden prehnite

i am in a very pensive, contemplative period in my life right now. i wanted to make a ring that resembled a mirror, to symbolize reflection and introspection.

isn't it?

prehnite is a stone of remembering.
and this golden prehnite is like none i've ever seen...


i made a new "winged heart" ring,
with a totally stunning tiffany stone, complete with a beautiful druzy in the lower right corner.

this is the "second spring" necklace,
with a gorgeous, hand-carved opal flower



(albert camus)


this is a custom piece with the most lovely kyanite cab





and this custom piece with a mouth-watering piece of turkish chalcedony




i hope you love it, m'dear!

all of these pieces are on their way to the shop...
