Hello All

The Gate Keeper was in class all day Sunday learning new ways to set gem stones into findings.  It was a great day of discovery for me.

The classes at Rio are very hands on with instructors that have a great knowledge base.  A wonderful time to get in practice to make more interesting pieces of jewelry to offer to those that are interested in the unusual.

 

Monday is a shopping day and there will be more pictures from Tucson.

The Gate Keeper went shopping and site seeing this Saturday ... she saw a 4 ton geo, a lovely purple color on display at the entrance of one of the smaller gem shows. Also on display was three giant crystals .. one citrine .. and two in clear crystal... all three are natural formed and unpolished ...

 

All in all enough to make any one sigh and wonder at Mother Nature

 

February 5, 2010

The Gate Keeper spent over 2 hours in heaven .. looking over thousands of stings of gem stones and pearls .. from diamonds to all sorts of quartz and agate.

 

 

from clear crystals to solid black onyx .. and many a pretty found a new home with us ready to be made into one of a kind beauty.

 

with walls of strings to choose from .. it was wonderful to get to feel and see the shine and twinkle in each strand I bought.
tomorrow .. off to the pearl dealers
