It should come as a shock to no-one that I collect stones. I have since I was a little girl. This can make things at my bench challenging from time to time, as setting stones often begins the process of my saying "Goodbye" to them. These four I have saved for quite some time, they are each spectactular in their own right. The rainbows in the Opals, the galaxy contained in the earthy Druzy, the electricity in the Moonstone. I have put them together... a few of my favorite things. Perhaps together, the letting go will be a bit easier. 
 
Ethically sourced Druzy Agate, Cantera Opal, Rainbow Moonstone, and Australian Opal set in sterling silver with fine silver bezels. Hung from an 18" sterling chain.
 
Each of the many steps involved in the making of this one of a kind piece was done by hand with care and intent. No piece is perfect, a fundamental part of the beauty of handmade jewelry.
