1. Ikebana with Red Quartz. This red quartz is really unusual because it has these really sparkly mica inclusions, like pieces of glitters embedded.
2. Ikebana with Labradorite. I thought this half round labradorite makes a perfect "bowl" for this miniature ikebana arrangement.
3. Kusuma is an Indonesian name that means flower. These agatized Fossil Coral is a natural stone formed when ancient coral is gradually replaced with agate. They usually have small flower-like patterns. Each piece of coral can display different colors, depending on weathering/oxidation and original mineral content.
I added some 14k gold dots to complement the warm tones of these coral.
4. The back of this pendant is inscribed.

Theresa, I've been out of the loop a while and had no idea you had begun silversmithing. These are gorgeous! I love how you've incorporated your engraving into your new work!
