     tenacity_600.JPG (374297 bytes) "Tenacity" -  This tree was inspired by a Birch tree near my home.  It grows out the side of a narrow gulch and just inspired me by the way it hangs on.  This tree is formed with silver floral wire and glass fringe beads and natural mother of pearl shell and is in a Bonsai pot.

morrisonite_pend_600.JPG (115581 bytes)

Morrisonite Jasper pendant-slide.  Morrisonite is from the now closed mine on the famous Jim Morrison Ranch.  For more information Google 'Morrisonite'.  Made with sterling silver and 14kgf wire.  Because of the beautiful colors in this cabochon I decided to use both colors of metal.  I have never seen another piece like this.  It has been hand polished on one side.  It reminds me of an old-fashioned lady wearing a tapestry gown.  I will include a cord or chain.

pend_peru_blue_opal_600.JPG (140172 bytes) 

Puruvian blue opal with sterling silver wire sculpture.  This is a picture of the front and back.  I like to make the back of my pendant-enhancers look as good as the front.  There are very few inclusions in this stone.  It is hard to find this high of quality stone anymore.  It is almost translucent in color.  I hand picked this one at a lapidary show 10 years ago. 62x31mm.
