I am amassing a lovely little gemstone collection for use in my jewellery. These are just a few of them. Some have been gathered at trade shows over the years, some my family have brought back from their travels and others my parents have found and had cut in the sapphire fields of Australia.
I have been sketching some designs for the stones and plan to make some one off pieces incorporating them. They could also be used for custom designs. I love all the colours and the names of the stones. They are so fascinating. What's your favourite gemstone?
