A Glimpse of Sunset
This handcrafted sterling silver pendant is constructed in three distinct stepped levels. The central orange agate is positioned at the highest level and secured with four sculpted prongs. The first rounded-square frame sits approximately 1 mm below the stone, while the larger outer frame is positioned another 1 mm lower. This graduated construction creates a subtle sense of depth between the stone and the surrounding frames. Rows of small stones follow both geometric frames, emphasizing their layered structure and creating a continuous rhythm around the center.

Garden of Light
A handcrafted silver ring inspired by the richness of a blooming garden, centered around a vivid green gemstone and surrounded by an arrangement of colorful gemstones. The stones are set at different angles and heights, creating a layered composition with an organic, floral character. Leaf-shaped silver elements extend beyond the main setting, adding movement and connecting the colorful stones into a unified design. The openwork structure of the setting allows light to pass through the stones, enhancing their individual colors and brilliance.

Deep Green Structure
A handcrafted silver pendant featuring a deep green agate cabochon. The setting is constructed with a two-tiered wall, creating a raised and dimensional structure around the stone. The agate is secured with individually formed silver prongs that extend around the edges of the stone. The pendant also features a handmade bail connected to the upper part of the setting.
