Ring for Alexis

Neon blue apatite, golden apatite (Mexico), unheated sapphire (Umba Valley), moldavite, sterling & fine silver. For an old friend. Size 6 3/4, so it just fits on my pinky in these pics...

Kinda looks like... some sort of bug, with its big apatite buttcheeks sticking up, or a skull with an apatite brain poking through...

Thanks for lookin

Rooted

Something my mom requested. 15-carat 20x15mm rutilated quartz facet, 14k gold-filled wire.

The stone has a nice little rainbow down inside of it that winks at you when it wants to. I'll try to catch it in a pic on a day that's not so cloudy and when I'm not on my way out the door to go try and make things out of my melted silver scraps... yay, fun!

Roy's Custom

Thanks for looking at my stuff...

Sam's Custom

Amazing black boulder opal from Australia (SO many layers of fire...), spinel (1.48carats/pair), mini quartz point, splatter of melted titanium. Sterling & fine silver and gold-filled wire.

Tried out a new (to me) prong setting with the spinels on this one.

Had lots of fun letting the wire and the stones doing the talking on this one. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to do this piece, Sam...

Not for sale, but thanks for lookin...

Saphoise

Sterling wire, turquoise from China, Saphhire from I-don't-know-where. Possibly from the Umba valley, as that's where the other three saphhires that I have are from, and I got them from the same guy... There's some really cool inclusions in the sapphire, I love it.
Sold.
Thanks for lookin, stay up and be good...

The Big Payback

My mom loaned me some money to buy some faceted gems from someone she knew, and said I could pay her back some of it by making her a really nice piece. This might be the nicest one I've done yet, I'm very happy with it: clean lines and good flow, no nicks in the wire, and the first one I've done that is clean enough on what was intended to be the back that it could actually be double-sided.

HUGE (14.4 grams)totally natural (not enhanced, stabilized, reconstituted, or anything like that), tumbled, flat nugget of Arizona Turquoise (looks like Kingman to me, but probably not. DEFINITELY Arizona somewhere though, my source just couldn't remember where), some other random turquoise nuggets, all sterling wire. NFS, but thanks for looking...

FOR SALE

Thanks for looking...

Upside Out, Inside Down

This one really has no intended top or bottom, I was really picturing it more circular than anything else.
Charoite cabochon (7.1g), Swiss blue topaz, pink topaz, sterling wire.
Had a LOT of fun with this one. Thanks for looking...

SOLD (traded, actually...)

Who's Got My Loose Ends?

...not me. First production piece where I soldered a bail on instead of deal with 6 or more wire ends. I think it looks much cleaner and more sleek, no?
For Sale- $40, negotiable (like everything), trades welcome.
Love y'all...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. So... if I keep learning, eventually I'll realize that I know nothing. Haven't been updating much for about, oh, almost two years I just realized (gulp...) but check back once in a while, I do still wrap I just don't bother with pic'ing & posting so much anymore... I don't have em long enough to photograph sometimes, life is good! Pretty soon I'll be able to put em in the gas tank as well as eat them, then you'll never hear from me again I'll be living my retirement. At the age of 28. Life is good. Really. No matter what they say.

Thank you
Delia Stone: Hi Johnathan,
I just wanted to pop over and thank you for the comment and the kind encouragement. I know that most of my work doesn't seem to be the rainbow genre, and I am glad to know that it's welcomed here despite that fact. The rainbow wrap is a new style for me and I'm working to decode the mystery that it is, so to speak. I hope that as my skills develop in this department that I am able to integrate some of the techniques I already use so that I can put my own unique spin on it. Time will tell. Thanks again for the kind words. I consider a compliment from you an honor. :)
