TREASURES FROM THE TUCSON GEM FAIR



Add to this the rock crystal quartz beads with a carved dragon set in gold for good luck!  Celebrate Chinese New Year this year since 2012 is the YEAR of the DRAGON with these playful earrings.
Rock Crystal Quartz with carved dragons covered in gold leaf and set on extra long earwires ( 24k over silver-high quality vermeil).
Contact me for pricing and I'll ship them out to you just in time for the festivities!



My favorite picks this past year were the rough black tourmaline nuggets, also fashioned in a disk form paired with amazonite. Another find were the fabulous oversized rutilated quartz briolettes with the fine facetting as well as citrine and amethyst drops cut with the same precision.

You can see them in several of  my earring designs when viewing the collection slide show.  The inspiration here was abundance and luscious fruits and florals!  

Still waiting patiently for my inspiration are the delicate tiny  diamonds I found and the incredible emerald beads with a color that just shouts spring!                                     

I also can't ignore the many strands of pearls languishing on my work table wondering if they will also be transformed sometime during these winter months!  Looks like I will be busy!

                                                                    ciao, Barbara

ciao, Barbara

Happy New Year
