The Art of Design

This is what I appreciate. I like things that when seen from a distance that look balanced and mostly "clean" (however you want to interpret that).

Cabochons

In ancient times, before any of the technical advances that made faceting possible, the people of those ages found precious and semiprecious stones and polished them by rubbing, resulting in the cabochon. Â Today that same cut of stone still transmits a similar energy prized by those early ancestors.

How many ways can metal hold a stone? Curves and angles, swirls, and what to leave out - the spaces that shine and glimmer... knowing when to stop.

Is it balanced, how does it feel - comfortable on the hand? or over the heart - framing the face. What do the colors, the stones, mean to you?

Crystals and ores from the earth, transported from distant regions over land and sea - drawings and thoughts, transmuted through fire and the eyes and hands of the stonecutters and smiths to you - this is our world. Cabochon Rings and Designer Silver Rings from from the imagination of Steven Battelle.
