Sour apple #Peridot with #Iolite and #Parti #Sapphire. This unique #pendant was hand fabricated in sterling silver, no wax or CAD. It is available through a private collector at a very reasonable price.
Setting the 1.25mm Iolite was challenging but very worth it, as it changes from blue to violet so nicely. #pleochroism #jewelry

Did you know that morganite has a rich #history (literally) and some unique properties? It was first discovered in California in the early 1900s and named after J.P. Morgan.
#Morganite is a type of beryl, like Aquamarine in pink. But did you know that it can exhibit a strong color change under different lighting conditions? In natural light, it tends to be pink or peach, but in artificial light it can appear more yellow or orange. This is called #pleochroism.
