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.

Shhhhhhhhhh, The Fairy is Sleeping Peacefully

My latest piece of jewelry art is now completed.

This one of a kind pendant is hand forged and soldered Sterling silver with a very unique crazy lace agate gemstone forming the fairy's wing. I knew this stone had to be a wing. Having the fairy asleep just seemed a natural for this stone. The banding in the stone feels peaceful to me. The overall size is 28.55mm x 49.01mm (1.124" x 1.929")
The Sleeping Fairy Pendant is now available at my Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75057051/sleeping-fairy-silver-and-crazy-lace

Crazy Lace in the Virgin Islands

I cut most of the cabochons I use in my jewelry. I also sell cabochons on my gemstone web site, Lunar Skies Cabochons. I've made an offer to cabochons buyers, if they send me pictures of jewelry they create with my stones and I will feature them on my site. I haven't been selling stones for too long but I got my first feature posted last week. The stone I sold is a crazy lace agate, pictured here.


Liz Tylecki-Kuniej from FantaSea Jewelry STX  created this beautiful
pendant from this crazy lace agate cabochon. It is paired with a garnet  and citrine, in hand forged Sterling silver. I think she did an incredible job on this piece. I visited her web site, and I have to say, her work is stunning.

Artist, Liz Tylecki, once a fashion designer whose travels took her from Chicago to New York City, is now a full-time resident of the Virgin Islands. Her inspiration flows from her love of the ocean and her passion for sea turtles.

In her free time, she volunteers during sea turtle nesting season, working with the various leatherback, hawksbill and green turtles who visit the island’s shores.
