Happy Mothers Day! Our Moms are like beautiful gems, so rocks of the month for May can be the beautiful things we make into jewelry. Whether we facet or cab them and then silver smith or wire wrap them, we our inspired by them as our loved ones have inspired us.
I think of beautiful faceted gems usually with inclusions that makes them interesting and unique just like people. I don’t always care for the gems that are clean and perfect because it is another way to tell that it is not fake. The faceted gems comes in endless patterns that resemble kaleidoscope views or flower like patterns and more. So lets celebrate and show off our favorite lapidary stylings and their creative settings as we think of all that inspire us.
