We love finding new and special ways to incorporate our favorite finds into our everyday life.

A perfect way to achieve this is to make jewelry with your favorite specimens!

Today we are featuring one of our guests at the Oceanview Mine. Ellen Mower O’Brien creates these beautiful one of a kind pendants with her perfect treasures.

“The beautiful little green gem of a tourmaline I found at the very end of my first visit to Oceanview Mines. I created this setting in 14k with a tourmaline cab, it is the start of what I hope will become a large collection of work that I fondly refer to as the Oceanview Collection. The Kunzite is the 2nd in the series. I fabricated this setting in sterling silver and added the half-drilled cultured pearls to accent the ocean part of the series name.”

We would love to see any jewelry ideas you have created to feature your crystals and gems!
