Teaching art, in any form, is simply encouraging people to look a little closer—or at least that’s how I see it. The lines, colors, and textures of nature never disappoint. 🌿

That’s what I hope to share as an Expert-in-Residence at The Swag, and this weekend was as beautiful as ever.

Thank you for joining me on this wonderful adventure. 🙏

What makes a tourmaline bi-color? 💕💚

As tourmaline grows, changes in the trace elements around it can cause different colors to form within the same crystal.

The result: two colors, one naturally beautiful stone. ✨

What do you think of this deep red-brown tourmaline?

Meet Turkelite ✨ A rare color-changing gemstone that shifts between champagne, peach, pink, green, and golden tones depending on the light. No two stones are quite alike, making each one beautifully unique.

(In some lights this stone is bright green and in others it is peachy pink!)

What do you think about a color changing gemstone?

This is my “royal ring.” 👑
It was carved from a chunk of wax using a rotary tool and sharp little hand tools.
It was cast into (a lot of) 14k yellow gold.
This large and gorgeous Amethrine gemstone was set into it.
And then I set 14 champagne colored diamonds into the design encircling it.

She’s a beauty in my opinion 🥰.
Let me know if you agree by “liking” this post or sharing it 🙏.

Have you ever seen a gemstone change color right before your eyes? ✨

Meet Turkizite. Depending on the lighting, it can shift from soft sage green to champagne, peach, raspberry pink, or even warm cognac tones…. Naturally!

While names like Turkizite, Zultanite, Csarite, and Ottomanite are different trade names, they’re all describing this same beautiful mineral: gem-quality diaspore.

These pictures do not do them justice but you can scroll 👉 and see a bit of the color change. Which color would you choose—green, champagne, or raspberry? 💚🥂🩷

A natural pink tourmaline (from Brazil) set in a 14k yellow gold chunky pendant. The pendant was made by hand carving wax and lost wax casting it. Then I set the stone and polished the piece. It hangs on an 18” 14kyg cable chain. And is available now 🌟

Before you get your hopes up 🤪 this one is mine. My parents brought be a raw chunk of black tourmaline years ago from their trip to Africa. I had no idea what to do with it until several years ago I was put in touch with a local gemstone cutter. He cut it into a heart. I wear it to remember my mom. 💔

(Thank you so much kendal 🙏)

Inspired by my drawings, I crafted this pendant from sterling silver sheet metal and wires. It is embellished with natural checkerboard cut amethyst and freshwater pearls. It’s a “drawing” of a bird flying in front of a cloud. Available ✨

Sterling silver “lovebirds” cradling an alexandrite heart. I’m enjoying “drawing” into wax and creating tiny wearable drawings like this one.

Currently on my site 💕

Another tiny “drawing,” this “leaf” pendant is 14kyg and is accentuated with a pink tourmaline cabochon. I also have a similar one available with a green tourmaline cabochon. Each is about 2.5” long.

This wearable, mixed-media “drawing” is made from sterling silver and 14kyg sheet metal and wires. It includes yellow sapphires, blue sapphires, a blue diamond, a champagne diamond, a turquoise and rubies. I also hand engraved the background imagery.

Available, and I ❤️ it!
