 Earrings Bracelet Red Woodward Ranch Agate I collected the red moss agate used in this bracelet and earring set from the famous Woodward Ranch located 21 miles south of Alpine in Brewster County in the Big Bend of Western Texas, USA. I then cut the cabochons and hand fabricated the settings, including the box clasp from sterling silver stock. The safety chain and spring ring are machine made. |

 Pendant Dino Bone I collected this petrified dinosaur bone from a low grade coal deposit situated in the Upper Cretaceous strata and located near Terlingua in Brewster County in the Big Bend of Western Texas. This is an unusual material insofar as it is not a typical Quartz replacement fossil but is rather a Carbonate replacement fossil. I cut the cabochon from the colected material and hand fabricated the setting from sterling silver stock. |

 Pendant Spider And Fly Four The Dominican Amber used in this piece was purchased. A spider and a fly are included within this Amber cabochon. The Amber is thought to be around 25 million years old and the design for the leaves surrounding the setting are inspired by a fossil fern from around that same period. The Garnets and silk braid used in this piece were also purchased. I hand fabricated the setting from sterling and fine silver stock. |
