I work in precious metal wire – 18K and 14 K Gold, Argentium Sterling Silver and 14K Gold-Filled wire. Because I work with precious metals, I feel that the focus piece needs to be of the best quality I can put into my inventory. Just after I went into business in February 2000, I went…

From China this turquoise so uniquely defined by its matrix pattern. This turquoise is more green than blue. While I may obtain other Dragon Skin Turquoise again, the shapes will not be quite the same.

The sparkly crystalline area lapidaries call it Druze and jewelers call it Druzy – whichever name, they are wonderful! This is an original One-Of-A-Kind…
For those who love crystals, this one comes with added bling! I always like to add gemstones to give extra pizzaz and healing. This one has 3 – 0.50 carat Almandine Garnets for a total of 1.50cttw.

This pendant/slider features my “Hidden Bale” and will accommodate a simple chain, a thick chain, an omega or a neck ring. The Chrysoprase pendant/slider measures 1…
