EARRINGS
I work with great stone dealers so color and cut can be a rainbow for gemstones. I am respectful of the war-torn areas of conflict and source elsewhere. Finding the right natural coral and turquoise is a real exploration of the planet, consider it special. I constantly search for conch pearls, a precious gem of the deep sea. For those who wish to forego the conflict, there are alternatives, particularly now that man-made diamonds are accessible.
URCHIN, STING-RAT EARRINGS
18K, Urchins are 11.5mm in diameter, over-all length with the Rays is 52MM, comes with 8MM Heavy Friction Backs

Tourmaline yes but not all red Tourmalines deserve to be called Rubellite. This vivid 2.49 CT triad illustrates how special a red Tourmaline can be. The color and cut of this stone come close to a ruby but are much more affordable. Set in a warm 14K yellow Gold embrace of leaves measuring overall at 42MM with comfortable Omega backs at only $3415.

Dating back to the 7th millennium BC Lapis has been mined and valued for its rich color and glitter, the blue of the sky and the golden glitter of the sun.

Paintings that come to mind are Starry Night Vicent Van Gogh, Girl with the Pearl Earring Vermeer and Bachus and Ariade by Titian.
