August Collection 2023

August Collection 2023

- 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.
-
You'll also find some mystic quartz, mystic topaz, rainbow moonstone, serpentine, and turquoise included this month.
