Custom designed frog pendant, set with green chalcedony cabochon. This is actually the backside of the pendant. 14K yellow gold.
The color of the chalcedony is much more bright and glowy in natural daylight rather than my dim photo box 🙂

Navette-style ring set with three fancy colored, fancy cut diamonds and carved with an olive branch motif; 18K. Love LOVE how this turned out!
This was a commissioned piece by one of my favorite customers and man, it just turned out so well! 18K gold snake with a chunky blackened sterling silver chain.
This is a one-of-a-kind wax carving I made for this cool emerald cabochon. I’ve been thinking about this stone for about two years now (I believe I bought it three gem shows ago now). It would be perfect in 18K yellow gold (because everything is perfect in 18K yellow gold…).
IF this might be something you might like for yourself, and if I haven’t cast it yet (I haven’t as of this posting date), send me an email and I’ll get you a quote: cheyenneweil@gmail.com. If you would like it for yourself, I’ll adjust it to your size before casting too.

I can always rely on this client of mine to bring me the biggest and coolest opals to design pieces for, and this Australian boulder opal was no joke.
We decided to “go simple” on this one, you know, just a simple bezel setting, maybe a little action on the shoulders. I thought some detailing around the bezel might be cool since there was going to be so much bezel, so we decided to go with an inscription: “Astra inclinant, sed non obligant,” which means in Latin, “The stars incline us, they do not bind us.”
Just a veerry simple piece.
Turns out it’s hard to stick to simple with such giant opal awesomeness in hand. (A frillion more pics after the click.)
