Hand Made Sterling Silver Ring featuring an oval Cuprite and Turquoise Cabachon.

This is a large beautiful stone! The background is a very deep reddish blue highlighted with bright blue Turquoise. In some areas you can see clear to white Quartz which gives it a lot of depth. It is impossible to capture the "spirit" of this stone in a photograph. Every time I look at the stone I see something new and different. It is amazing! We cut the stone from rough material which came from the Superstition Mountains in southern Arizona.

The ring itself is Sterling Silver with a simple design on the sides making it very masculine in style. It has a Medieval feel to it. The texture is our "Mother Earth" texture which is in keeping with the very organic nature of the stone. This is a very unique and spiritual ring. It is very deep in character ... as though it has existed for centuries

Summertime Ring ... White Quartz, Green Enamel, Florentine finish on Sterling Silver

This White Quartz material, also called King Quartz, looks great in Sterling Silver for the summer months. A slight accent with hard Enamel creates a suttle contrast and helps define the fine leaves engraved on the band circling the ring. It looks fresh and clean ....like Spring time! I like this look. We cut the Quartz in house which allows us to create any shape, height, width, etc. provided the material cooperates with nice clean areas to cut from.




Special Order Sterling Silver and Turquoise Pendant

A client brought this interesting piece of Turquoise into the shop to have us hand make a Sterling Silver pendant for her. She wanted the Turquoise to touch her skin as she wore it. She believes in the healing qualities of Turquoise. We created this design which secures the Turquoise yet permits it to touch the wearer. In the design, I used the repeating spiral pattern, which represents eternity to highlight the healing properties the client desired. The large pendant has a hinged bail for comfort and easy movement preventing potential breakage at that critical point.
