 Gemstones have inspired man's imagination and creativity since the dawn of time.  From early cave dwellers, through ancient Greek and Egyptian civilizations, to European monarchies and on to Native American cultures, consistent use of stones for decorative as well as medicinal and religious purposes is, was, and most likely will forever endure.  Their color, sparkle, luminescence and reflective qualities fascinate generation after generation.

Being no stranger to the attraction of these natural wonders, I've set out to incorporate some of my personal favorites into jewelry made for everyday use as well as for that special event.
