Drusy Agate – Grey Titanium Oval Cabochon

The mysterious grey titanium coated drusy agate gemstone cabochon shown here is 28mm long. You can read more about what drusy agate is here.

Agate is traditionally believed to help you to discern truth, improve memory and concentration, increase stamina, prevent insomnia and ensure pleasant dreams, enhance personal courage, protect you against danger, and provide a calming influence.

The titanium coating is applied to the natural drusy stone using an environmentally friendly process called Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) that uses only electricity to deposit a thin coating (measured in angstroms) of titanium, silver, gold, cobalt or other high-grade natural metallic. The PVD process not only enhances and preserves the natural beauty and durability of druzy, but also the planet and ecosystems that created it.

Treat this titanium druzy as an opal or pearl. A mild soap and water rinse will maintain the color and clarity of the optical surface of your druzy for a lifetime!

I used this cabochon to create this custom piece:

Pale Pink Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

Via email, Maggie and I went through some choices from my gemstone collection, and I sent her pictures of a couple of stones that I hadn’t listed yet.

She chose this pale pink drusy agate, which is just divine!

Thanks, Maggie, it was a pleasure to create this ring for you. I’m looking forward to our next collaboration!

Sterling Silver and Opal Pendant

Jeff contacted me to see if I could create a pendant using an opal that he got in the opal fields.

The pendant was to be a birthday gift for his wife.

I was glad to be able to help, and I think the end result is great! Thanks, Jeff!

Stormy Blue Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

I was listing some new additions to my gemstone collection on my FaceBook page, and Sarah fell in love with this stormy blue drusy cabochon.

She messaged me, and we arranged for it to be made into a ring for her.

Thanks, Sarah, this was a gorgeous ring to create, and you were lovely to work with!

Pale Green Drusy Agate Pendant and Aventurine Earring Set

I created this pendant and earrings set in collaboration with a beautiful customer. We worked together to match the stones and come up with the design idea.

The shape of the pieces mirror the pattern in the drusy. The pieces are for a gift for Sonia’s daughter, a Taurean – the stones are both birthstones for the sign of Taurus, so very fitting!

Thanks so much, Sonia, it was such a pleasure and an honour to collaborate with you.

Sterling Silver Cross

I created this cross for a lovely customer to give her partner.

It is a birthday gift, and replaces a cross that was lost.

The cross is hollow, so it is large but light, and structurally interesting. It was great fun to create!

Chrysocolla and Sterling Silver Granulation Pendant

I’m always pleased to create custom pieces for people using gemstones from my ever-growing collection, and this was no exception!

What made this chrysocolla pendant special is that it’s for a birthday girl, from a group of her friends – and I got to meet the person who commissioned it.

Chrysocolla is one of my favourite stones at the moment – if you’d like your very own chrysocolla piece, just let me know!

Green Jasper Cabochon

The huge and gorgeous green jasper gemstone cabochon shown here is 58mm long, and is available to be handcrafted into a custom made ring or pendant for you. It was mined in Mexico.

Jasper is believed to encourage personal bravery and help people gain independence. It is thought to help cure gynecological problems and to strengthen the stomach. Some believe it can help bring rain, and it has been used as a protection against evil spirits and snake and spider bites.
