Looking for Gemstone Pendants

    Pendants no matter what the style; hung alone on a chain, omega or cord, or rather incorporated into a necklace is always a staple in any woman's collection. Recently I’ve been able to get some unusual cuts with domed shapes, instead of the normal round, square, triangle or diamond cuts. This is because my father-in-law the resident gemologist has been in his shop learning the art of lapidary and cutting slabs. This allows us family jewelry designers to be able to ask for certain cuts, styles and slabs rather than waiting for the Tucson show.

    I’ve already used several of his stones, handcrafted them with wire bails and then incorporated into different jewelry designs. And these beauties (Bloodstone, Coral Fossil, and Stromatolite Fossil) will be coming as soon as I can get coordinating beads and working designs…but until then, browse through his website Jewelry by CnC, under the unmounted pendants section to purchase and incorporate them into your own designs.
