You pick the stone, I'll work with you.

I create custom jewelry pieces on a regular basis, but not everyone knows that. So when I revised my web site I added a button near the top right of the screen.

When you click the Custom Piece/Pick a Stone button you navigate to the page shown below. I'm still loading stones onto my gemstone web site, this is still a work in progress. I hope to be far enough along in a week or so to notify current customers by email.

That type you can't read says: I create custom jewelry pieces using the input of the recipient with a cabochon of their choosing. Below are examples of cabochons of many of the varieties of gemstones I have cut in my lapidary operation. Click any of the pictures to view an assortment of stones of that variety. You will see stone dimensions and the prices of the unset stones. If you are interested in beginning a dialog about the design of a custom piece of jewelry you can email to me directly at quentin@lunarskies.com to begin the process. If you would just like to purchase a cabochon from the page you are free to do so as long as the stone has not been put on hold by a potential buyer.

The Peacock is Strutting His Stuff

I finished the peacock pendant I was working on as well as a few other pieces of jewelry. It features a Labradorite gemstone. Labradorite shimmers with blue iridescence similar to a peacock's plumage; also features three Peridot, and three blue Topaz accent stones. The silver metalwork also includes a 14K gold crown and a few gold pieces mixed into the silver granulation. In the background of this picture is the metalwork when it was nearly finished before setting the stones. I love the way these pieces come to life when the stones are set and the metal is polished.

 

Pictured below are some other pieces I made this week;  a Kingman Turquoise Pendant and Earrings, an Azurite Malacite Pendant and a Citrine Pendant with a Citrine Accent Stone. These pieces are now listed in my Etsy and Artfire stores. Visit the links below to see more views.

My latest creations, I love simple clean lines

It always takes me longer to complete a jewelry project than I anticipate. Part of that is photography and listing. Etsy and Artfire constantly remind us to make sure our photography is first rate. They're right of course, more views are availabe on my Etsy and Arfire stores (links at the bottom of this post). Pictured below are a Rainforest Jasper ring, Sonoran Sunset pendant and Azurite Malachite pendant.

 

Pictured below are Lapis Lazui pendant and earrings and Citron Chrysoprase earrings

 

Pictured below are Petoskey Stone and Black Onyx pieces

 

And finally Labradorite and rare Laguna Agate earrings created for a special order (these last two items are not listed in my stores)
