- New for August -
This month's new designs highlight hues of lemon and lime as well as a few multicolored and iridescent stones. Peridot, August's birthstone, is featured in its raw form on a pair of tiered hoop earrings as well as in its sparkling faceted form on a new pendant. Along with the raw peridot, you'll find a few other raw druzy stones this month. I love to juxtapose these rough druzies with smooth and shining cabochons like the labradorite cabochons used this month.

In addition to the one-of-a-kind pieces, the other half of August's collection features made-to-order designs. There is a new lemon quartz necklace and earring set as well as a matching pearl necklace and earring set.
