Our gemstones are so bursting with beauty that we've turned them into stunning, two-dimensional, visual art.
While she's carving, Sherris wears magnifying loupes so that she can see fine detail. The process of her art is mostly done at this close-up, magnified level and the intricate patterns of light and color are a large part of her inspiration.
To share that inspiration, Sherris works closely with photographer/designer Amy Balthrop (Akanni). Amy's many years of experience in capturing the essence of a subject with photography combine with her design savvy to best express the "life" of the gems into a 2-dimensional form.
The close-up images of Sherris' gems found here in our products offer a glimpse into her world. These show the distinct, individual pattern found in each gem while showcasing the amazing colors so prized in gemstones.
We are offering museum quality photographic prints in a generous 16"x20" size, 2 sizes of note cards that come boxed with envelopes, and have more products in the works. If you are interested in carrying our printed works in your retail establishment please contact us for further information.
