Brecciated Jasper Mermaid

process, musings, productLarkin HamiltonComment

I have two favorite stones found by our family so far: this one, and a particular piece of applegate jade. Larkin cut this phenomenally striking brecciated jasper cab from a rock we found on the northern California coast. The copper mermaid tail setting combined with the stone is like a perfect marriage between water and fire! Larkin has really been enjoying making (very labor intensive) wire doodles to hold the stone in place on the back of the wrap, and this one formed from fused argentium silver turned out beautifully.
