2016 certainly is off to a fabulous start-back doing some lapidary work and creating new designs around these absolutely yummy cabochons….Agates have always been on the top of my most favourite list and this one has gorgeous gold and silver tones running through it.  Smooth as silk, I can’t wait to see how it looks in a silver setting!  ..or maybe bronze…or?

The second one is a Jasper, and it looks just like a Fall leaf with delicious earth tones. This shape is a bit of a pain to cut but it was worth the extra effort-  I already have a design in mind for this one!

Now to get the shop cleaned and ready-it’s in dire need of a purge….
