Aquamarine and Sterling Silver Amorphia Pendant

Theresa was the lucky winner of one of my second anniversary giveaway prizes, a custom made piece from my Amorphia collection.

She loved the shape of one of my existing pieces, so I mirrored that for her!

Theresa chose two lovely milky aquamarines from my gemstone collection, to match a ring that her husband had given her.

I hope that Theresa likes wearing her piece as much as I liked making it! 🙂

I created this for my bestie’s birthday. We had been laughing about how I’m not a fan of mustard coloured things. She is! 🙂

The lovely Charmaine, for whom I have previously created this ringthis ring, this ring and this ring for, asked me to make her friend a ring from this fabulous round peacock blue drusy agate cabochon.

Unfortunately, we managed to get Charmaine’s friend’s ring size a little confused –

so Charmaine is keeping this one for herself, and I’ll create another for her friend. As always it is such a pleasure to create for her! Thanks, Charmaine!

I had originally created these seaglass earrings to be listed in my shop, but after some consideration, I decided I had to keep them for myself!

Grey Titanium Coated Drusy Agate Cabochon

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!
