CHANNEL INLAY
To create a piece of channel inlay jewelry, the artist constructs a series of channels in the metal which will hold the stones in place. Stones are carefully measured and cut before being placed in the channels according to the design. The finished piece will be a fusion of the stones and the metal. Channel inlay is considered a more traditional approach to inlay jewelry. It allows for a wide variety of color combinations and complex patterns. Flush inlay is achieved in situ, meaning the grinding and polishing is done after stones are fitted and glued into position on the metal
form.

BLACK JADE
Black "Jade" is actually Grey Serpentine that has been dyed to have black jadeite's beauty, without its cost.

NEW LANDER TURQUOISE
New Lander Turquoise is mined near the Lander Blue Mine in northern Nevada. Unlike the traditional colors of Lander Blue, New Lander tends to be more green-yellow in color. It is known for its wild, dark spiderweb matrix patterns.
