"I am a master metalsmith. My background is in fine art, not a
tradeschool. During my years at the bench I have worked with every
imaginable jewelry material, from platinum and diamonds to bottle
glass and copper. I am obsessed with opals and metal objects. I believe
in bringing out the beauty of a thing and then figuring out how to
show it off. Isn't that what adornment is all about?"

Day 43 Bloodstone Cross Sterling Silver Ring

Bloodstone Cross Sterling Silver Ring, size 7. Cross is 12mm wide, $100.00
Call me crazy, but I think this is the perfect Christmas remembrance ring. You have the red and green mix in the bloodstone, coupled with the cross shape.  

Chalcedony, which is found worldwide, is the name for a group of stones made of a microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline variety of quartz. Stones that are members of the chalcedony group include bloodstone, jaspers, agates, dinosaur bone, chrysoprase,chrysocolla, onyx and carnelian amoung others. It is thought to increase vitality, stamina, and endurance and to promote emotional balance and charity while relieving melancholy, fever, gallstones, and eye problems.
