PostHeaderIcon Precious Stones Carved at the Craft Show

by Rick Amorey

I am planning to go to the next Artisan’s Craft Show, and I think I have the necessary crafts to join. With only eight days until the event, I’m already preparing the things that I will be selling as a vendor. Among the things that I will be showing off are turquoise, aquamarine, onyx, chalcedony, smoky quartz, purple amethyst, amber, citrine, prasiolite (green amethyst), rose and clear faceted quartz, rutilated quartz… Do you want me to continue? I may even bring some ruby or emerald if I complete the design in the short time left.

As you can very well see, I have a great fascination with colored stones and gems of all types and colors. I feel uncomfortable if I do not have at least one gem set in jewelry on my person; I simply must have one around my neck or on my fingers. But, I have decided to take it one step further. I have designed and made a number of necklaces using sterling silver with gemstones. And I am eager to show them off.

Accessories like these, of course, need to be accentuated by the right sort of clothing. I went by Nova Moda boutique and I found out that “Not My Daughter’s Jeans” were in stock. In Hamilton, Nova Moda is the only shop that carries this particular line of jeans; they will fit your loved one fabulously. I have already mentioned Michael Kors in a past entry, as well as Nada, who is a Canadian designer. The latter showed up during Toronto’s Fashion Week, and she was said to be one of Canada’s rising stars in the fashion world.

But for now, I have to get back to making these jewelry pieces. It’s hard for me to begin a project, but once I do, I carry the momentum for quite a while. So I shouldn’t interrupt myself when I work. At any rate, I’ll just see you at the next craft show!
