Necklaces - Semi-Precious Stones
Born to Be Worn
The creation of sophisticated, glittering, precious and semi-precious stones is a partnership between humans and the earth. Miners, lapidaries, designers, jewelers discover stones' allure, pull them from the earth or ocean, cut, shape, facet, polish and set them. Raw stones inspire us to do high-end makeovers, to reveal their beauty.
Whether as rare as red diamonds or widespread as agate, these ancient fragments of the planet were born to tempt and please us. Stones are warm and patient, waiting for us to transform them into breathtaking adornment. To enhance our beauty.

Green Garden
Grossular Green Garnet, Peridot, Vermeil, Gold Fill
The beauty of these garnets lies in their roughness. Every bead tells a story of the pressures of the earth over millenia. The stones are full of inclusions, flashes of light, and every once in a while an internal crack causes a startling rainbow. Unlike us, time and pressure make them more beautiful. Glamorous peridot nuggets are scattered throughout.

Druzy Glitter
Druzy, Gold Fill
This gorgeous druzy's dark glitter depends on human intervention. First, to find, dig out, and split the geode - the rock that hides the sparkling crystals inside. Some geodes have color, many are white. Reliable, lasting color comes from a coating of titanium and heat. Worth the work!

Soft and Gentle
Imperial Jasper, Peach and White Moonstone
I fell for Imperial Jasper the first time I saw it. And I fell hard. So many colors, so many patterns, so many unique stones that took my breath away. Again and again that little hoarder voice in my head said, "Oh Wow! I have to keep this one!" Of course, my customers craved the very same ones I lusted after. I only have one neck, so they got the goods. You will get the ones you want as well.

Oh, that Crazy Agate!
Crazy Lace Agate, Garnets, Gold Fill
What a stone! I can gasp at these babies for hours as I select the ones that want to play together. Highly polished, these agates sing with swirling patterns of vivid natural colors. They're so detailed they look handpainted. Garnets in classic deep red and rustic grossular green echo the greens, tans, and reds of the agate. Sophisticated and earthy, wear this necklace on a day when you need to radiate complexity and persuade others that your unusual ideas are well-grounded.
