It’s been awhile since I made some cold settings. I really do like the raw earthiness look to the stone with this type of setting. Two are made with copper, one is copper and German silver.

Well, it happened again. This summer I entered two of my designs into competition in the Professional Jewelry Design Category at the 2014 Orange County Fair. And this lovely gem took the red ribbon for second place! I am always amazed, humbled, and grateful when one of my pieces wins a ribbon. I put much thought and lovingkindness into creating my jewelry designs and I am always pleased when others appreciate the work I put into making them. A big thank you to the judges who also saw the quiet beauty in this piece.
