Earrings for Susan

Susan admired a citrine stone that I cut for fun, and she inquired to see if I could make another and create a pair of earrings that would fit in with a citrine bracelet that she owned.  Here is the result:

Susan presented her budget to me and I worked with my jeweler to create the pair.  The stones are 8mm and proved to be too heavy for studded earrings, so we converted them to leverbacks.  She is delighted.

The beginning

This site has been a long time coming.  For several years, my kids have been urging me to get a web presence to showcase my work and sell some of my stones.  Well, today, here it is.  I hope this blog will be informative and interesting to anyone who enjoys gemstones.
