Back from Tucson and Cookin'

Back from the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, and it was cookin'. All the new materials, tools, and gems you could ever hope for.

I bought wonderful gemstones that you will see in my sterling silver jewelry online at www.rubysransom.com. Stones such as sunstones, Australian mokaite, rose de frances, Imperial jasper, bi-color citrine, Rutilated Quartz, Watermellon tourmaline, Apple green jade (jadeite), Lemon Citrine, Mexican opals, Deadrite,and Ruby Zorisite.

All of them yummy and in beautiful and unusual colors and sizes. I bought a new material called Wirelace that is delicate and in many colors and sizes. Beautiful tiger beads to match up with my African bead selection.

I am also going to start working with a mixture of textiles and stones. The fabrics are gorgeous, and will give my customers such a new and different look. Not anything they will find at their local department store or jewelers. This is for those who appreciate handmade and quality jewelry crafts.

So, what are you waiting for - go take a look.
