KT Agate Pendant


Now isn't that pendant just an absolute treasure to view? I am so in love with it! The bold colors, the shiny sterling silver...oh my!!! It is exquisite! OK...enough of my drooling over this lovely pendant.

Today I am featuring Rasmussen Gems from Handmade Artists. You want pendants....there are plenty of gorgeous ones from which to choose. You want rings....he has plenty of those as well. Or is it bracelets? well there are plenty of gorgeous choices in that area as well. Do you get the picture yet....what ever your heart may desire....Rasmussen Gems just may have the answer to your question. 

Rasmussen Gems is a collaborative effort of Dr. John Atwell Rasmussen and his wife Debora. Dr. John does the lapidary pieces and his wife Debora handles the beaded projects. All of which is beautiful!

Take a look at a few more pieces I have chosen for today's viewing.

I really enjoy featuring the artist from Handmade Artists on my blog because it gives me a reason to really look over the shops of the artists that are being featured for that week. I have really found some wonderful items in Rasmussen Gems shop this week. But I couldn't put them all on here....so you will just need to go on over and check out the shop for yourself!
