Katrina's Stones at the Moment
Spring, TX. USA,
http://www.stonesatthemoment.com

Hello, 

    I'm an expatriot Scot who has lived in Texas for more years than I
    care to remember. My interest in rocks and stones began when I took a
    class on Geology when I was working toward my M.A. in Rhetoric and
    Composition. 

    Over the years, I have bought/collected numerous beautiful cabochons
    which were cut and polished by some of the finest lapidaries in the
    U.S. and overseas. One day, I decided that these fabulous examples of
    Nature's art deserved to become accessible to others, so I taught
    myself to use 14kg/f wire to created unique settings to make my
    stones into wearable works of art. 

    It took time, effort, lots of wasted wire, and money, but I
    eventually realized that the best way for me to design the right
    setting for any stone was to let the stone "guide" me as I worked. I
    love rare, unique and unusual stones, and work with many different
    kinds of Jasper, Agate, Charoite, Seraphinite, Tiffany Stone, to name
    but a few. 

    I started off my web experience by opening a "shop" on Rubylabe.com.
    I did sell several pieces, but RL's prime area of interest is
    antiques, and so I eventually decided to open my own website.  I hope
    you will take a look at it when you have a moment, and any
    suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated. 

Sincerely,
Sheila Cagle
