This piece has a story. I named it "Split" not only because of the bail/face of the pendant... I made this piece about 13 months ago for a friend who was about to go on a NOLS trip to Australia. He really wanted a piece before he left, and assured me the check was in the mail, i worked real hard to get this finished and in the mail before he left... but no money ever came. Well he split and it took me until Last night to get the pendant back. A mutual friend ripped it off his neck when he walked into her apartment. Its a little beat up, and needs multiple polishes... but at least i have it back. Lesson learned. Trust NO ONE.
Contains-
(1) Blue tourmaline (afghanistan)
(1) spessartine garnet (africa)
(1) Peridot (pakistan)

This is only my 2nd attempt at a bracelet, and on this i tried doing some symmetry. enjoy
-2x Eudialyte cab
-Green tourmaline facet
This just fits my wrist, and i've had a few girls try it on and they say it fits perfect, just a little loose. I dont really know how to size a bracelet, but i am confident it will fit most women with a normal sized wrist.

This was the 2nd collab between me and sarah on this site. It has been done for a few weeks, i just never really photographed it until yesterday. There was a slight accident (cat related) with the piece sarah made, the small blue tourmaline was broken off. I just went with it and finished the piece anyway, but i had to cover all the sheet metal just to make it look alright.
more to come-
Tourmaline- Himalaya

This piece is a custom for my friend Chris from Asheville.
He gave me a huge lemon quartz facet the same size as this Citrine, i really cant recall the carat weight of these stones. but they were equal.
This piece was the first time i encorporated sheet silver formed into these horn like shapes. I formed each of these and soldered them into a frame, then wire wrapped the rest of the piece. Im happy with the outcome and would like to use more of these spiculum shapes in my pieces.
Sterling and Fine silver
Large oval citrine facet
this piece is NFS
