A New Lodolite Quartz Ring

This bold cocktail ring features a large Lodolite Quartz gem stone. It took me a while to get good photos for this ring. I had to do two photo shoots. But finally it worked. 

The stone is held securely by six prongs and the ring has a polished finish. 
This is truly a one of a kind piece.

About the stone:
Lodolite Quartz (Lodalite) is a type of included quartz crystal with inclusions of many possible colors and types, often having the look of gardens, landscapes, or underwater scenes. Thus, lodolite is often called garden quartz, landscape quartz, or scenic quartz. One of the most common metaphysical uses of lodolite is to bring energies to effect manifestation of one's desires. This particular stone reminds me of these mosses or algeas that I have seen on rocks in the Mojave Dessert.

Feature in a magazine

Monday night I finally got the long awaited email from the Fashion Editor of Avalon Media - Publisher of Australian LOTL and BOUND Magazine letting me know that I was featured in their last issue of BOUND. A little dance around the dining table followed right after that ;-D. I was so happy to see a whole page dedicated to my jewelry.

They had contacted me back in January via Etsy and requested some high resolution photos of some of my rings. It took a while to finally get them published and I am so happy to see how it turned out. Can't wait to get my hands on an actual copy of the magazine. Apparently it's already in the mail.
