Silver and Rocks. My Two Favorite Pieces

These are two pieces I made a few years ago.  They are both sterling silver and the ginkgo leaf was made from using an actual ginkgo leaf I found as a template.  That piece is set with brown labradorite.  The other piece is my take on Danish Modern, and is a simple shape that my saw just decided to cut.  It's set with a rhodochrosite.

I love both of them.  I want to get back into a studio that has appropriate equipment so I can make more!

The photo below is of the brooch prior to actually setting the stone.  I had not pushed the bezel into place on the stone.
