Stone Studies
Studies in cut, proportion, surface, translucency and character.
Stone Studies is a working library for later jewellery decisions.
Instead of starting with a setting in mind, each study asks what the stone wants: how its character might decide proportion, orientation and the structure built around it.
Cut
How faceting and geometry direct light and set the character of a stone.
Colour
Saturation and hue treated as focal decisions inside a piece.
Translucency
Depth, clarity and the way light passes through a material.
Proportion
Scale between stone, setting and the body that carries it.
Surface
Polish, texture and the feel of a stone in the hand.
Setting
How structure answers to and frames the stone it holds.
