PICASSO JASPER, RED PICASSO JASPER, & RED CREEK JASPER

PICASSO JASPER (also called Picasso Marble) gets its name because of its lightening-strike black lines and black-to-grey colorations. A new variation of this popular jasper, called RED PICASSO JASPER (or marble), has the same black lightening strikes, but also shows red and reddish brown colorations. Another newer stone comes from the Red Creek mines in China. RED CREEK JASPER has similar lightening-strike patterns, but in vivid shades of golden yellow, rusty red, teals and greens. Playing upon the newer colorations, Miriam teamed her Picasso and Red Creek Jaspers with Moukaite, Ocean Jasper and African Yellowstone. Miriam particularly likes how the African Yellowstone shows a landscape-like pattern, which is also seen in the select Moukaite and Ocean Jasper she used in this Collection.

FANCY & INDIAN JASPERS

FANCY JASPER in beautiful shades of teal, golden yellow, soft browns and rusty-red float gently throughout this delicately carved Pendant. Miriam swirled the sterling silver just enough to compliment the natural look of the 1.75-inch leaf. The full Pendant measures 3 inches. All the colors of the leaf are represented in the 19-inch four-strand Necklace that includes one full strand of natural INDIAN JASPER. Note that the S-shaped Sterling Silver Clasp is accented with a leaf design. The one-inch teal Jasper Earrings also have a swirl of silver and are pumpkin-shaped.

PYRITE earned the name "Fools Gold" when prospectors used to mistake it for the precious metal. The metallic dark grey sheen of this exquisitely carved leaf shows glistening hints of both gold and silver and has a marcasite-like luster. Miriam designed a 4-strand 20-inch Necklace of glass beads that have the same golden-silver sheen, in addition to a strand of deep grey zinc (metal) beads. Miriam designed a Sterling Silver "twisting vine" to suspend this unique Pendant, which is 3.5 inches long.

AFRICAN YELLOWSTONE has opaque to translucent areas, shown here in a landscape-like pattern that only nature can create. This 3.25-inch Pendant is artistically matched to a 20-inch 4-strand Necklace that includes one full strand of brown garnets in varying shades, and three fine glass strands. (The Pendant stone is 1.5 inches long.) BROWN GARNET is also known as Hessonite. Like all Miriam's Custom Collection, the silver accents and clasp are Sterling Silver. Matching Earrings are African Yellowstone with Brown Garnet and Sterling Silver. Earrings measure 1.25 inches. Fashion Hint: The African Yellowstone Pendant also looks terrific with the Moukaite Bracelet & Earrings shown in this Collection. (Click here to see more of Miriam's African Yellowstone designs!)
