Welcome to Wild Sky Seals and Unique Handmade Jewelry From the recent ad in Snow Lion

I like to use unusual stones I like to use unusual stones in unique combinations: Australian opals, gem silica, carico lake turquoise, deep wine garnet, agates with wild patterns. Lately I have been very interested in working in 24k gold. It has properties that are unique in the mineral kindgdom. Look on my page of Notes to read more about it. My interest in Tibetan Buddhism shows in the handstamped mantra series called Wild Sky Seals. I make them in 24k gold, and sterling silver. All of my work is one of a kind. Although I may use one stamp in a number of pieces, each piece is handmade. Many of the stamps Is have made myself. Fluctuating Gold Price Because the price of gold is fluctuating, the prices you see here may not be current. You can email me to get the updated price if you are interested in any particular piece.

If you cannot afford a sapphire. On a clear late evening go outside somewhere where the lights do not pollute the sky. Look up and see that magnificent dark blue sky as a huge sapphire. It belongs to everyone and is larger than any sapphire imaginable. Nature is rich and we can afford it just by opening our eyes to see it.

Rubies can be seen in the tips of the red cherimoya cactus spines at sunset. Get a plant between you and the sun as it sets. Be ready to see thousands of rubies, one on each tip. This plant wears a halo of them every evening.
Diamonds are found by the millions in the morning dew. It's a bejeweled world, yours just for being alive.
