The Jeweler's Bench


It's been sometime since I've made any jewelry. So with the cold, wet weather & the fact I was snowed in for a week, it was time for me to return to the jewelry bench. I cut some new stones & created some settings using reticulated silver. The pieces with stones are set with sterling silver bezel. Here is a little description of the various stones in the photos. Larimar is a light blue gemstone which comes from the Dominican Republic, an island in the Caribbean. Morrisonite jasper, with wonderful patterns and various colors, comes from Idaho & is getting hard to come by. Botswana agate is from Africa & has such beautiful lines.
