John Welch
          Creations in Wire

John's gemstones come from all over the world:  Jaspers from the western United States, South America and Madagascar; Opals from Mexico and Australia; Rutilated Quartz from Columbia; Lapis from Albania; Turquoise from the desert southwest; Amethyst from Brazil; and many other rare and beautiful stones from exotic and far reaching locations.

Taking one of the raw gemstones, examining its qualities and flaws, determining the optimal cut to refract and reflect the light, slowly polishing it to perfection, then wrapping it with gold, silver, or gold and silver wire to draw out the inner beauty, is one of his greatest pleasures.

John's pendants are one-of-a-kind, nature has created the beauty and he has just tried to place it in the proper setting.  We hope you will enjoy wearing his jewelry as much as he did creating it.

Visit John in our store on August 16th and August 17th, 2007 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  He will be doing live wire wrapping.  Please feel free to bring something you want wrapped or pick from many of his great finds.
