Stoneworks
Beautiful and unusual strands of semi-precious stone can be found here. I used to make custom jewelry before discovering lampworking, but once I started playing with fire and glass I was addicted. I had to make a choice between the two, and lampwork won. I have been slowly putting all of my semi-precious stone up for sale here in this store - these strands are much too lovely to remain unused.
