I choose them based upon the patterns, colors and subtle forms present in each stone. The suggestive and sometimes dynamic patterns and colors vary stone to stone. Jaspers are usually opaque, while agates often contain translucent bands. These gems are truly one of a kind artifacts. Jaspers often reflect the terrain in which they are found. Gem cutters are challenged to find material that will yield stones similar enough to be considered matched pairs. Gem grade cabochon tubes accentuate each pair. I will be happy to assist you with any questions you may have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1486927665678-KGK0LYPNGQ9TM5XUOM3K/IMG_2643.JPG bijoubaubles.com - Assorted Bijou Baubles I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DRAWN TO PRETY ROCKS As a child, I loved visiting fine jewelry stores with my grandmother.

Traditionally thought to protect the wearer, Jaspers and Agates, were thought to bring rain, according to Native American. and to protect from drowning, as believed by third and fourth century Greek sailors. Agates and Jaspers are forms of cryptocrystalline quartz, collectively referred to as chalcedony. I love to work with jaspers and agates because of the diversity of patterns, colors, and beauty within each stone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1486928146175-YS3JVDDJGY9CCZNU1OOY/IMG_0979.JPG bijoubaubles.com - "Tubes & Talismans" Pendants in Progress Every piece is handcrafted from Sterling Silver and naturally occurring stones. All stones are gem grade. Most of the jaspers, dinosaur bone, and agates used for Tubes & Talismans are obtained from the Heart of Stone Studio in Arizona. They are truly one of a kind artifacts. The subtle and fabulously dynamic matrix of colors vary stone to stone. Jaspers are usually opaque, while agates often contain translucent bands. Jaspers often reflect the terrain in which they are found. Gem cutters are challenged to find material that will yield stones similar enough to be considered matched pairs. Natural cabochon and lab-grown gems used for Bijou Baubles and Jem Mosaics are purchased from Rio Grande in New Mexico, and Joseph P. Stachura in Massachusetts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1486928245679-VT474NDC5WNN8MZ6DXKM/Product-shot-med.png bijoubaubles.com - Contact Me https://www.bijoubaubles.com/https/michael-barbera-7hk9squarespacecom/config/modulecontentcollectionid52d70f5be4b01cea685fe6f5 daily 0.75 2017-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1389826322644-WHZEGZBYOVZTG8UHQOUN/photo.JPG Snap Shots of Recent Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1389826370597-UOHNHYV6HSPHN91VW3RU/photo.JPG Snap Shots of Recent Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1389826410423-AN1NABDYQMMEXJHMNP25/photo.JPG Snap Shots of Recent Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1389826444994-P5G322KSJX7KSSEIHEEQ/photo.JPG Snap Shots of Recent Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1389826488921-S3618UVSVQ9M9PMPHKF5/photo.JPG Snap Shots of Recent Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1389991187472-NGZBME341VVML685CHPU/photo.JPG Snap Shots of Recent Work https://www.bijoubaubles.com/notes daily 0.75 2014-01-19 https://www.bijoubaubles.com/contact daily 0.75 2013-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1389651522827-JHTRM1FXMTFZUQTSXMQY/photo.JPG Contact Me Forest or Trees? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1390076587259-D5U6M05DYZJKHGQX6HH7/photo.JPG Contact Me We can see clearly for miles and miles https://www.bijoubaubles.com/shipping-info daily 0.75 2016-07-04 https://www.bijoubaubles.com/about-the-artist daily 0.75 2016-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52cb2e68e4b0e5395c187c0f/1389644437707-QQ33ZU63NWGQV6MB73UD/photo.JPG About the Artist Bijou Baubles.com is a working studio specializing in one of a kind sterling silver cabochon earrings and is the online home of established custom jewelry designer, Michael Barbera.
