This process was so much fun! I offered to do a start to finish piece with this Rhodonite Slab and the customer made all the choices!! She decided the shape she wanted, the type of jewelry, the metal... everything! She chose the edge of the slab that contains more of the black matrix than the center which was more solid pink. Each stone was cut and polished before we made the sterling silver settings and polished them up. Would you enjoy a full start to finish design made from scratch? What stone would you choose? #lapidary #jewelrydesigner #rhodonite #silversmith #earrings
