“Jelly Purple” 12ct Holley Blue Agate ring in sterling
$300.00
Do you want to know the most common question I’m asked at live sales events? It’s “What’s that purple stuff?”
This is Holley Blue Agate. The name is a little misleading because most of it is a lavender to almost grape jelly purple, the later being the most highly sought-after.
Not only is it rare, but it’s getting rarer every day because the place we used to mine it in Linn County Oregon has been closed to public digging since the 90’s and there’s no other source.
This ring features a large 12ct piece of some of the juiciest purple agate you’ve ever seen. It’s set in a sterling silver bezel, and wow, does it pop!
I have quite a few pieces made with this stone, but this one is special.

Gorgeous 2.6ct Untreated Natural Ruby ring
There's a big difference between a "natural" ruby and an untreated ruby. Then, there's lab created rubies. Natural rubies can still have undergone treatments, which include heat treatment, oiling, resin filling, and fracture filling. Lab created rubies generally look "too perfect" and generally don't have color variations and imperfections that are the hallmark of natural rubies.
The stone in this ring is a 2.6ct untreated natural ruby from Afghanistan. While there are imperfections, the stone is absolutely gorgeous with a deep velvety purplish red hue.
It's set in a simple 14k white gold prong setting. The gold weight is 2.43gms.
You might never see a natural stone like this at your local jeweler who only stocks the "perfect looking" lab grown or treated stones. If you want the real deal, this is it.
This ring would be the ideal engagement ring, anniversary gift, birthday gift, etc. The ring is US size 7 but can easily be resized by any competent jeweler.
Normally, the stone alone would cost you $1,000 or more. I'm selling this ring at $900.
Oregon “Neopolitan” earrings
I'm calling these earrings "Oregon Neopolitan" because of the colors of the stones.
All three stones are Oregon natives. The first is "Vanilla" (or clear) Oregon Sunstone. The second is a "Chocolate" Oregon Fire Opal from Opal Butte near John Day. The third pink stone, you may not be familiar with. It's a pink common opal, also found near Opal Butte from the Pink Lady mine. This one, I call "Strawberry" pink opal. It's rounded out by another sweet "Vanilla" Oregon Sunstone bead.
All set on sterling silver wire, hand fashioned and micro welded together.
