RAW 52/25 - Indicolite in Quartz

Indicolite in rustic cut Quartz
Indicolite encapsulated in white quartz.  Nice tall bezel walls to protect this lovely stone.

Inky blue Indicolite Crystal
Isn't that the prettiest blue?  Such an amazing stone, and that rough surface is incredible.

Labradorite Necklaces

Finally got a chance to make some new necklaces instead of rings for the Ring A Week challenge.  Two different styles, but both with labradorite which is one of my favorite stones. 
This one is more simple and contemporary.
Vintage Styles Blue Labradorite Pendant Necklace
This one has wire formed scallops around the edges. It has a vintage feel, doesn't it?

RAW 52/02 - Marquise Moonstone Ring

This is the second ring for Ring A Week (RAW) challenge.

A relatively transparent piece of moonstone with a lot of blue pearly opalescence. 

You can make out the ring band through the stone.
I kept the back open.

In this picture, you can see the profile of the band that I hand forged from a straight piece of round wire.
I sculpted out a curve on the bezel.
With the stone being a long marquise shape, I thought a delicate setting will be more suitable.  It is a US size 6 and is posted on my website.
