“Daphne” Septum or Daith clicker 14k yellow gold, Oregon Sunstone, and Ruby
Such a cute little piece of jewelry!
This little 14k yellow gold clicker with bezel set Oregon Sunstone and rubies exudes elegant sophistication. It's a tiny 10mm ring 18g hoop. Easy to wear and change with the clicker setting.
It's named the "Daphne" for the dryad, or tree spirit, and the daughter of a river god. She was the first love of Apollo in Greek mythology.
I made several variations of this model, but only one with rubies. When it's gone, it's gone. Get it while you can.

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.

Spectacular Oregon Sunstone pendant in sterling silver
This Oregon Sunstone pendant features a bicolor mostly green with pink and champagne, concave cut stone. It weighs 7.8ct and would retail for over $700 for the stone alone.
The stone in this pendant is special, not only because of the rare green/pink bicolor aspect but also because of the special "concave cut."
Concave refers to the surface of the facet. Rather than being flat, the facet is curved in a concave direction. The cutting process is similar to traditional faceting except that rather than cutting on a flat disk, a smaller cylinder is used. This cuts the curved facet. These curved facets work like lenses and create a more dramatic difference in light and dark area''s in the stone, and give the illusion that there are a lot more facets than there really are. The most noticeable effects come from facets on the pavilion of the stone.
Oregon Sunstone is the official state gemstone, and it's so easy to see why. The colors are just amazing, and this one is no exception.
It's set in a pretty sterling silver setting with a nice 18" chain included.
