Setting tiny gemstones for the jewelry I'll be making for @monsterpalooza. Rubies, garnet, amethyst, citrine, gold topaz, blue topaz, emerald, peridot, sapphire, and onyx. That's right folks. Not only do I collect, prepare, and preserve the exotic specimens I feature in my jewelry, I also set the gems myself. Now when you see the price tags I hope you realize how much work I put in so that these pieces are affordable. But as soon as I can afford to, I'll be hiring people to do these things so I can focus more on design, and then all the prices will increase. So... if you've always wanted an Ave Rose original, don't wait. ;) #averoseart #stonesetting #allthesparklythings #tinytreasures
