Alexandrite SolitaireDecember 2018 Alexandrite, 18 karat white gold A friend came to me with this beautiful cushion cut Brazilian alexandrite to set in an engagement ring. Alexandrite is an amazing stone, because it can look blue green by daylight or fluorescent light and purple or red by candlelight or incandescent light. We chose a classic cocktail style solitaire ring in 18k white gold for the setting, to give it that platinum like look that will set off the stone day

The entire thing measures two feet from the bottom of the base to the tip of the flame

saves and protects

Spotted moss agate

like something that Jacques-Yves Cousteau might have recovered from the floor of the Mediterranean

I had recently made an engagement ring for a lovely couple with whom I'm fortunate to now be friends

February 2001

It wasn't until sixteen years later that the rest of me finally made it to Chicago

Note that the skulls on the bride's ring have flower-shaped eyes

and thus this star was born

When I read the verse above

but by giving it three spikes it resembles the letter ש (shin)

Astrological signs: ♑ (Capricorn) and traditionally ♒ (Aquarius)
