Rhinestones and emerald-green eyes grace these silver and gold toned panther/tiger cat pieces. We often purchase vintage jewelry to repurpose in our glass art and lapidary jewelry pieces. These pieces were so stunning that we decided to sell them “as is.” The pieces are brand new and have never been worn. It is as if a vault from almost half a century ago was opened and these pieces were discovered inside. If you are interested in purchasing these pieces, please visit our store at one of the links below. We were so taken by them that we had to share them on our page!
Me with my friend, Elaine, wearing her new Turquoise ring
Elaine walks from here home to the thrift store where she volunteers every week. I gave her the ring and she immediately put it on – it was a perfect fit. She showed it to everyone that came in. A ring started nearly half a century ago, now completed.
“Is that your son,” one asked. “A good friend,” Elaine replied. Anyone would be proud to call her “Mom.”
We visited for about an hour. I listen to her stories, enjoy her sense of humor and her sweet spirit. The love she has for God and others is evident as she speaks. Stories of hard work and devotion to a husband she loves very much, his life of military service and her roles as wife, mother, career woman, and friend.
Our mutual love for lapidary and rocks brought us together. Elaine is part of what is right about this world. Thank you, Elaine, for sharing and caring.
The ring is sterling silver and I made the two baugettes of turquoise. The ring is a gift for a friend. This friend made the ring many years ago using the lost wax method of casting. She is the spouse of an Air Force veteran. Many years ago they were stationed at a base that had a lapidary shop. She related her joy in working with gemstones and learning, among other things, silversmithing. I hope she likes it.
