Moss Agate and Crystal Opal
Moss Agate and Crystal Opal
This pairing had to happen. The Moss Agate from Central Oregon is so generously sized that there is an entire world of detail within. Cloudy and blue-green agate alternate fortification lines creating designs amid emerald and forest green mossy dendrites. A blue-green Crystal Opal (from Australian old stock) with emerald green flashes was added to carved Fine and Sterling silver creating a waterfall, cascade, and bubbles in this delightfully water-themed, yet abstract ensemble.
The Moss Agate is left open backed in its Fine Silver and setting to let the light shine through. The base and the bail loops are Sterling Silver as well as the hook and loop closure on the 3.5mm Greek leather cord (roughly 18”). These stones were sourced in Oregon, hand polished, and the setting fabricated from scratch by Karen Britt. Each piece is a one of a kind piece of art, because no two stones are the same and the settings are created by hand, no two pieces are the same (even the earrings). It should be mentioned that all stones are used in their natural state; never dyed or heated to change their appearance. All the metals used are either recycled or fair, humane trade verified and all components used in the jewelry will return to the earth leaving no footprint. Thank you for enjoying the art.
