I’m trying to cut down on the use of glues and adhesives wherever I can. Needless to say this afternoon was... riveting 😏
(!Bad goldsmith pun!)

Lapidary Bench:
chrysocolla
So in Sudbury Ontario there’s this wonderful, magical place called Science North. Its a place where children and adults can abandon their “too cool for school” attitude and geek out on awesome science stuff! They have machine building, Electricity conducting, CGI creating, fossil digging, and so much more.
In their fossils and minerals section they actually have a set up of lapidary machines! Naturally I couldn’t resist ❤️ I picked this lovely soft Chrysocolla and just let the shape inspire me.
It’s unusual as jewellery cabochons go I guess, but that was really half the fun! And just look at the pattern and colours! It reminds me of neural patterns for some reason. Or a thunderstorm, or a raging sea storm. Nature is so friggin cool sometimes.
Jewellers bench:
Labradorite, sterling silver, citrine
The grey moth
My signature silver trillion pendant with trillion cut citrine and some beautiful labradorite beads. I love how subtle these beads are. Soft shades of grey until they hit the light just right and suddenly they’re a burst of bright colours. If any stone were truly magical it would be labradorite 🌈✨
The whole piece reminds me of a moth. Delicate and delightful so much colour and movement in such a subtle way.
