Request for Black & White
by Christine Yuss.

Lately I’ve been handling a lot of requests by coworkers for jewelry. And I’m having a blast coming up with new designs and stone pairings.

Spinel & black agate set
I had some spinel flat oval stones for a couple years that I just hadn’t gotten around to doing anything with yet. Then a coworker asked me if I could do a black/white set for her.
I looked through my stash and figured it was time to dust off my spinel stones and use them.
After I presented them to her I had a regret pang about not seeing their potential earlier for myself!!
At least I know the new owner LOVES the set and I get to see it when she wears it with pride to work. A win/win for us both…
