Portfolio Example & Artist Statement

My technique is lapidary stone cutting, grinding and polishing. I use predominantly high quality natural American turquoise along with other stones set in sterling silver and high kart gold. Stones are individually cut and polished. The finishing process of stones is a eight step grinding and polishing process from rough to fine grinding and fine compound polishing. I use stones from around the world and cut them into designed mosaic patterns designed my myself. I study each stone to identify which part of the stone is the best quality cut.
