Lunch & Lapidary with my mom Josette Cifani. She & my partner Heather Perkins are helping work a large order for our friends at Old Miners Outpost on our Cabking and flat lap, thanks for your help! These agates are hard and slow to process but are pretty.

Having fun producing original music with AI for our videos. Curious what folks think about it and what to make with my best Blue Lace Agate: ring, pendant or possibly bracelet? Cutting a high dome, the refraction is spectacular!

Hand-carved Labradorite in 925 Silver pendant will be finished and listed soon.

Meditations from our mornings walk: we’re living McKennas Archaic Revival, when a culture spirals out of control it reaches back to the last sane moment it remembers. For us that was living in symbiosis and deep collaboration with Mother Nature. We’re optimistic of a future renaissance. In a world racing towards artificial everything, non-simulated humanity is the ultimate luxury good!

Make it a beautiful, happy, and productive week friends! 🙏

Finshed 925 silver ring for this ruby faceted by Roger Bright. Still learning to sculpt and the lost wax casting process so there’s 40 hours of work in it.

I may end up happily owning Lost Wax Cifani Gem Piece #1… unless a generous soul would like to make an offer to support my education 😂Size 8.

Didn’t make a mold before setting the gem so she’ll remain a true one-of-a-kind. I do plan to refine the design hand sculpting a similar version we’ll cast in small runs. That’s how most lost-wax jewelry is produced. Original one-off’s are rare due to being a timely process.

What do you think of my design? Which stones would you like to see set in it? Learn the Art of Jeweling: Mine to Maker video in comments. Make it a beautiful day friends! 🙏
