Jade has been treasured for thousands of years — carved into objects of ritual, status and beauty, and valued in ancient China beyond its material worth. This vivid green jade drop is suspended beneath solid 18K yellow gold.
The natural rose-cut kyanites in the Ocean Studs are all about that blue. Deep navy one moment, brilliant ocean blue the next as their irregular facets meet the light. I chose two stones that belonged together without being identical, then built each sterling silver setting individually around its stone.
And ametrine manages something stranger still: purple amethyst and golden citrine occurring naturally within the same quartz crystal. Nearly all commercially mined natural ametrine comes from one remarkable source — the Anahí Mine in Bolivia. Mine is a substantial 12 × 10 mm stone surrounded by botanical forms in solid gold.
Jade. Kyanite. Ametrine. Three pieces I couldn't resist.
