Have you ever spent a lazy afternoon gazing at the clouds on a sunny day…picking out shapes, naming them, dreaming, and having fun? This is the spirit that inspired me to create my CLOUD DREAMS collection.
Finding the Gem
The stones (from Indonesia) are White Plume Agate. I discovered this gem quite by accident. Over the last year I have been purchasing many of my cabochons from 2 Indonesian sellers. Traditionally these sellers send me a gift with each order. The gift is normally another cabochon from one of their collections. The gift acts as a thank you for my order while also giving me ideas for new gems I may want to buy in the future.
This particular gift was a white plume agate gem. The stone cutter adds a blue backing to create this beautiful doublet as they commonly are referred to.
Creating the Collection
During the next several months I began ordering more of these doublets. I already knew this gem would be the key component in a new collection. The first several pieces are now available for purchase here.
I adore the way the sky comes alive with this process. Each of these designs is handmade in my Arizona Studio and one of a kind.
Let these designs remind you of lazy days and dreaming.
