There won’t be another like this for a long time. We acquired it years ago, and it’s been part of our private collection ever since. One day, we decided it needed a little touch-up. The original craftsman had planned to make a spoon from it, but an inclusion made it unsuitable for his purpose. W...

These stones have been sitting around for years. I felt they deserved better than sterling silver, so they sat. Now, finally, I was able to set them in 14k white gold. One also has a 2mm diamond accent. These are just cleaned and drying under indirect artifical light... aka next to the bathroom sink. I'll get professional looking photos a little later. The one on top is a fire agate and the others are opals.

All set in 14k white gold with a 14k white gold chain.

The fire agates and sapphire pendants have been done for over a week. Today I completed all the rest. Everything above the bottom row is an opal. I got some different size earrings and pendant mounts this week. Some of these opals have been sitting around for years waiting for a new home. I have about 25 more that are ready to set. None of these are listed yet. Tons of work to come and many more to set. Fun times.

These are all sterling silver and the price will range from about $60 to $300 each.

Here are a few I'm working on. I need to fix and polish the silver still. Better pictures to come.

There was a fire agate that was in the rough and broken oddly. It was broken in a way that there was not a good option to cut for color normally, but from the side, it had colorful rays, so I went for it and it came out very nice. Better than the pictures. I'll have to do a better job when I go to list them.

Also, the clear yellowish stone is a sapphire. It was not clean enough to cut, but it made a good cab.
