3 coil Oregon Pink Opal and Sunstone memory wire bracelet
Here's a very pretty memory wire bracelet with three coils. It's a fairly simple design but elegant and easy to wear.
It's a sterling silver plated memory wire with Oregon Sunstone and Oregon Pink opal beads. The material for the opal beads comes from the Pink Lady opal mine near John Day, and the Oregon Sunstone is from the rabbit basin in Lake County, Oregon.
I just love the variation in color on this material. From very light pink and white to almost a maroon color.
The bracelet is just barely big enough for even a large man like myself to wear, but on a much smaller person, it's going to fit much better.
The ends are finished with a pink opal bead on each, dangling from a welded sterling silver end.
6mm Oregon Sunstone studs in sterling silver
Here's a great set of 7mm bicolor Oregon Sunstones set into a pair of simple and elegant sterling silver studs.
The copper schiller shines with an otherworldly glow that seems to radiate from inside the stones. Colors are green and bronzy tone. Certainly not your everyday.
Oregon Sunstone, the states official gemstone, is mined in the Eastern Oregon Outback in desolate conditions.
These stones are 6mm each, and the pair weighs just over 2.2ct.
8mm Holley Blue Agate Cabochon stud earrings in 925 sterling
Two lovely 8mm Holley Blue Agate caboshons mounted in sterling silver post earrings.
They're simple, yet so elegant. The delicate lavender color with a slight bit of peach is just perfect.
Holley Blue used to be sourced near Sweethome OR, but the collection site was closed down about 35 years ago. The only way to get it now is through someone like myself who had collected it years ago.
Each cabochon weighs about 3ct.
At the moment, there is just one pair available like this. I may be making more soon.
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.
Red Oregon Sunstone dangling pendant in sterling silver
Cute dangling pendant in sterling silver with delicate 18" chain.
These Red and dark pink Oregon Sunstones are the star of the show though. The trillion cut is about 1.5ct and it's a very nice dark red that usually goes for about $500/ct. The oval is about 2ct and more of a dark pink and typically gets sold for about $100/ct.
This was a pair of earrings until I lost one at a tradeshow. Added this cute little bale though and selling the pendant. Get $950 worth of gorgous Oregon Sunstones, set into a stunning piece of jewelry for a bargain price!
