Each piece is truly a special one-of-a-kind work of art. Lisette Thierry painstakingly creates every gemstone in her Idaho workshop - by hand. No two cabochons are identical and each piece features abstract, tribal, floral and other imaginative motifs. Every design is highlighted as a cameo or raised relief with a matte finished background. Beautiful!

Perfect in jewelry for this generation in rings, wrist cuffs, pendants, neck collars and ear rings. These are definitely not your grandmother’s gemstones!

Singles, matched pairs and suites available. (Return to Top)

 

 

Pinolith or Pinolite is a unique material only found in a very small area of Austria. The showy alternating black and white looks almost like an old Japanese block print. With areas that resemble floral arrangements, plant leaves and abstract art, Pinolith is an uncommon gemstone that lends itself to wire wrapping. Matched pairs and suites available. (Return to Top)

Psilomelane (pronounced si-lah-mi-lane) is a wildly striped hydrous oxide with alternating bands of metallic black and gray that resemble Hematite. With a hardness of 5-6, Psilomelane is best used in a protective setting or a pendant. Psilomelane is also known as Romanechite and Merlinite. Matched pairs and suites available. (Return to Top)
