I am a silversmith and lapidary. That means I cut and polish the stones or gems and then set them in sterling silver pieces that I design and handcraft.
This is a ring I designed for my wife. Back in the old days, I cut and polished turquoise, lapis lazuli, malachite, opals, sodalite, black onyx, mother-of-pearl, petrified woods, and many other gemstones.
These days, I tend to only design jewelry for family members, but for many years, and in many states, I cut, polished, soldered, and repaired seven days a week.
