Sterling silver necklace I designed and made a few years back.. just seen these from a few months ago where I was playing around with mirrored images… with a bit more manipulation, they could quite easily create an Aesthetic style wallpaper….

There is a new creation amongst my stack, but it’s summer and working days with temperatures exceeding 35 degrees become impossible to create…

Sterling silver ring , Variscite cabochon… the one that got away from previous post..

A selection of Sterling silver chunky rings with Variscite cabochons from the mines of Gavá (Barcelona) Spain… It was first described in 1837 and named for the locality of Variscia, the historical name of the Vogtland, in Germany. At one time, Variscite was called Uytahlite . At times materials which may be turquoise or may be Variscite have been marked as (Variquoise) . Variscite has a more intense green colour than turquoise … rarer but tends to be less expensive in its raw state….

About Pietersite - History and Introduction
Pietersite is a rare dark-gray or reddish breccia aggregate (rock made up of fragments embedded in a matrix), comprised mostly of hawk’s eye and tiger’s eye. Pietersite from Namibia was first described in 1962 by Sid Pieters, who named it in his father’s honor. The term “pietersite” is now used as a general term to describe brecciated tiger’s eye.

Pietersite is characterized by its distinctive swirls or streaks of gold or orange, due to the crocidolite inclusions within a microcrystalline silica host. Crocidolite is the same material responsible for tiger’s eye chatoyancy. When polished, the inclusions in pietersite exhibit chaotic chatoyancy whereas in tiger’s eye, the inclusions are arranged in parallel lines and give the appearance of a continuous line.

A selection of Pietersite stones I’ve used in some of my jewellery designs… I’m out of action this week due to my tennis elbow.. probably also getting my hand back in with some copper work! The last images are something I’ve not completed but just show what can be achieved using only a length of copper tube with a bit of manipulation…
