I’ve seen something like this done. It keeps the bands intact and together. Simple and striking

Oof… Without the gold, the jewelry I fabricate will be a pretty idea and some gemstones on scotch tape.

My biggest achievement this week is not this jaw dropping hand-fabricated six stone, hand-cut nugget gemstone bracelet, but…it’s clasp. Been working on perfecting a satisfying, auditory *click* when clasped that machine-tooled findings do not deliver. Mission accomplished.

Finished these rings for the case, green tourmaline and tanzanite. They look great stacked if your MO is more-is-more.

Made some pretties earlier this week. Discovered a way to connect and keep the stones fairly tight but still free to swing. Pink tourmaline and rose quartz in 14k.

Moonstone is hard to photograph, folks. Lovely blue flash to accent the hand cut aquamarine and peridot cabochons.

This piece makes me so happy! Our stonecutter custom cut these to my “hard shell” request, and they came out of the tumbler absolute perfection. Then I got to work on a 14k 🦞 pendant crusher claw.
