Quartz, Stone, and Glass solid rings

One of a kind modern work of Art Freeform Lapidary Jewelry!

 I live to cut one of a kind “designer’s solid-stone jewelry rings” and put the works of art on your    fingers. I am inspired by nature in how stones are formed….and am fascinated to the fact that when I cut 10 rings out of one large stone all tens will look different from each other in which it can never be duplicated. I would like to bring a sense of creative energy to my rings. I want everything that I make to be unique and one of a kind, so that the wearer knows that he or she is wearing something special, not just something made from mass-producing machines.

 It is really amazing to pick up a stone that has been existed for millions of years and proceed to cut a ring out of it. It is a rewarding experience and at the same time it is mediating. There is hardly anyone that I know that does lapidary stone-ring cutting anymore. It is becoming almost extinct in our [work all day, then watch TV] society. So, this is my life's joy that had started at age thirteen in Rapid City, South Dakota, roaming the prairies for agate and jasper stones.
