Dawn to Dusk to Stars Above Rainbow Intarsia Necklace

Dawn to Dusk to Stars Above
Rainbow Intarsia Necklace

It starts at dawn, actually before dawn when the night sky is still black and stars are still shinning. The black is black spinel, a natural gem. Dawn comes, light is returned to earth, colors bloom. More natural gems, a rainbow of earth crystals in summer colors bloom. Then evening twilight and darkness returns with stars above, six diamonds, twinkling in the night sky.

Made Here in Portland, Maine
by Marty Gem Cutter Magician

I’ve known Marty for 30 years. I think of him like he’s one of my kids. Marty is bright, sharp, always thinking. Marty is a world class gem cutter. One of the things Marty will be remembered for are his towers of incredible natural gem colors. Not all of us will get to be remembered in an historical way. Marty is one of those people.

Marty has done many amazing gem cutting projects for us over the years. Among my favorites are his towers of color. Vertical slim cones of pure natural gem colors cut and polished as united wholes.

Marty comes to design creation with the most pure design esthetic of any jewelry craftsman I know. He is gem cutter and jeweler, easy, pure, simple. Each piece is handmade, hand-cut, all natural.

In the grand scheme of things, someday Marty’s gem towers will be collectables. The Antique Jewelry Road Show person will say to your great-great-granddaughter, “Do you realize what you have here?”
