Geckos and grasses carved around and holding an amazing free-form Mexican opal. 18K, opal, and diamonds.

I love to complain about how my lightbox never captures the fire in opals, and this is no joke–observe:

Can you even believe it? This is the same ring underneath a lamp. This opal was like this little oceany jelly drop and I wanted to eat it.

This awesome wedding set features a gorgeous custom-cut white sapphire by Top Notch Faceting (hands down my favorite gemstone cutter). The solitaire setting has a branching tree motif with a crescent moon carved on one side, the wedding band is an open design with a branching tree with leaves motif, and a matching classic-style wedding band with a single branch with leaves intaglio-carved on it.

This Phoenix + Feather solitaire is set with a gorgeous peachy pink pyralspite 1.39ct garnet, custom cut by Geologic Spectrum. 18K gold.

This wedding band was inspired by the Hokusai’s Great Wave woodcut. It’s 8mm wide and 18K white gold.

This ring was designed around this gorgeous 1.5ct diamond. A handful of bright, dare I say, “jewel tone” stones were added around the diamond: a berry colored garnet, a tsavorite green garnet at the top & a Pariaba tourmaline at the bottom, and on the other side is a gorgeous yellow-orange spessartite garnet. The flower is sort of field-marsh inspired, but I didn’t base it particularly on any specific species, just went off and carved an idealized bloom spike. I imagine the flowers are yellow in my head. 18K.

I so rarely do prong settings, but agreed to for this amazing 2-carat Old Mine cut diamond. I did a scalloped pointy 8-prong setting with a sakura blossom motif down the shoulders and sides of the band, little diamonds set in the centers of each bloom. At the base is carved a tiny daffodil bloom. 18K. This ring really turned out fantastically.
