Gem Silica Jewelry

Gem silica can hold vivid turquoise, blue and green within a remarkably compact field of color. We approach the rough slowly, looking for the point where translucency, surface and saturation are most expressive.

Because the material itself is the focus, the final outline is determined by the stone rather than a predetermined template. Hand-fabricated mixed metals support that color without overwhelming it, producing a one-of-a-kind piece that remains visibly connected to the earth-made material.
