With unusual handmade baroque jewelry each stone is a unique, one of a kind, gemstone with an infinite variety of combinations of color, size, and formation, challenging the creative imagination of all of us.

Baroque—the dictionary defines baroque as a French word meaning “irregular in shape”. The Baroque stone, with which we are concerned here, is a natural shaped stone, highly polished. It has no regular or special shape, no perfect or flat sides and no sharp angles. Some of the 17th century furniture was so named because of its irregular shape; thus the word is used today as a name for our tumbled polished gems. Jewelry made with these baroques is called “baroque jewelry”.

Most of our Baroque jewelry is found by us, in local areas and transformed from rough to gemstones, and then created into jewelry. We use sterling silver and gold filled settings for our handcrafted gemstone jewelry. Finding it, is great fun and then to create things from it is very exhilarating and provides an exciting element to the purchasing process—knowing where it was found, what it is and what it represents. This adds a real personal approach to all purchases.

We will try, with each piece of jewelry, to tell you what the stone is and what it represents, including its healing properties and/or metaphysical properties, when appropriate.

Many of the pieces are made from various types of Agates. Agates, like diamonds, are forever. They retain their beauty indefinitely and can be passed down through generations. Their infinite variety of color and pattern fit them to every occasion. Agate is linked to the planet’s energy, and it is believed to be a highly protective stone. Agates are considered powerful healing stones. We also have a large selection of crystal gemstone jewelry.
