The gemstones she works with in these three pieces are an intriguing mix. The London Blue topaz is a stunning deep blue variety of the topaz gemstone with an intense eye-catching color. Cordierites are gleaming blue silicate materials which can be cut as a gem when clear and tsavorites are a radiant green variety of garnet.
