Having seen the results of MsWillow's work in person, I can highly recommend it! She does excellent work.

Excellent craftsmanship! Mind telling me what kind of stones those are? They look familiar, but I can't quite think of where I've seen those kind of stones before. I've been around a lot of jewelry, but mainly the generic kind. You know, gold/white gold/platinum usually with diamonds.

Also, keep up the health recovery!

The cabochons are "A" purple jadeite, from Russia. "A" jade is all natural - not dyed, bleached or resin-impregnated. These are primo material.

The accent stones are African color-change garnets. In sunlight, or fluorescent lighting, they're green, but under incandescent light, they're purple. That's because one of trace elements in the stone gives a blue shade, and another gives red and under UV glows yellow. Fascinating material.

The settings are sterling silver. Can't afford the 18kt white gold these
