A word from the artist...

"I'm always on the look for the raw material. I never buy someone else's lapidary work. Every stone set in the jewelry starts out in the form of a rock, then it is slabbed on various sizes of saws (depending upon the composition of the stone). From this each stone goes through seven different polishing wheels and here is where the design starts. The gem stone dictates the setting. The stone tells you what it wants. There are dainty stones that call for a frilly, feminine setting; some others are very masculine in appearance, these would usually wind up in a belt buckle or a bolo tie with broad sweeping effects.
A prime example of a feminine stone would be a rhodocrosite pink stone with white lacey uneven streaks.
A bold stone would be a chrysocola bluish stone with a mixture of browns and greens running through it.
