This ring has quite a bit going on. It is made from Damascus stainless steel, 14k yellow gold and natural orange sapphires. The sapphire eternity band in the middle of the ring is independent of the rest of the ring and that lets it spin. The Damascus steel is riveted to the rest of the ring with 10 – 14k gold rivets. I’ve been wanting to make an eternity band spinner ring for quite a while. This one is size 11.5.
This honey comb inspired pendant is custom made and one of a kind from start to finish!
To begin the process I went to southern Oregon and hard rock mined the fire opal from the ground myself. Then I faceted it into a 1.4 carat hexagon.
Once I had the completed stone I was able to design and then hand carve the wax pendant. Once finished shaping, I made a mold and burned the wax out so it could be replaced with 14k yellow gold.
With such a unique statement piece like this, I couldn’t just go buy a pre made chain so I made a 24” chain in house. I poured a 14k gold ingot and drew it into wire and then made all the links by hand. The S link clasp to close the chain I also hand made.
Now all it needs is a neck to adorn!
This 14k solid gold pinecone pendant was a passion piece for me. It started out as a normal pine cone that I stumbled across while backpacking. I was stunned by the perfection and symmetry in its shape and decided to take it along with me. Then it sat for about a year on my shelf as I looked at it and decided exactly what I wanted it to become. Finally, as I decided on its final design, I ordered VS diamonds in various sizes (it ended up being adorned with 28 VS-1 F-H color diamonds; 1-carat total weight). The end results are just brilliant. It has just enough flash and the spinning bale that hangs on the hand made 24″ 14k gold cable style chain was a perfect touch. Now I offer it up to head off to its new home!
It will be a special piece that stands the test of time no matter where it ends up. This piece also comes with an appraisal ($17,000) from Accurate Gem Labs Inc. In Portland, OR. I have been so grateful that I’ve been able to dedicate my time to bring beautiful things like this into the world. And extremely grateful for those who have supported that passion.
