5.35ct Purple Red Sapphire 3c 1
An interesting color spectrum, a purple red sapphire. These sapphires have undertones that look like a totally different stone in different light. It is not color changing, since that is less surprising than a 'nonbinary' stone. Setting a stone like this I believe will bring unexpected outcomes.
beading nights
Night after night, as the hours slip into morning, I have been working with our beads. We have collected a variety over the years, and now I sit in this room and marvel at their coming alive. Working with beads is a learning curve for me. Their potential is influenced by how they have been used throughout humanity, also their predicament. Because they are not equated with high brow jewelry, always ethnicized, they present a challenge in the trinkets I dream to make.
