Golden Rutilated Quartz earrings and necklace set wire wrapped 14K gold filled. Handmade gemstone jewelry by Arctida.

One of my most favorite semiprecious gemstones to work with and to wear is Golden Rutilated Quartz. It looks like a frozen drop of water with small bars of embedded gold. And when the light hits it just right all that gold explodes with tons of sparkles! I recently found a new supplier for my Golden Rutilated Quartz addiction and they had a new shape (Heart shaped briolette) of these wonderful gems in stock so I thought I will make a set and offer it as a choice for my customers.

Argentium sterling silver wide ring band with abstract Celtic inspired pattern.

New shiny ring in my shop! This time it is a hand forged massive textured Argentium sterling silver ring band with abstract Celtic inspired pattern. As it is Argentium silver and not traditional sterling silver the band it self and the pattern were fused and not soldered in place. Which is what I like so much about Argentium and off course the fact that it is a tarnish-resistant sterling silver that is 100% recycled.
