Cufflinks in 19K white gold featuring bezel-set black onyx and Gibeon meteorite carvings by Steve Walters centered by bezel-set round tsavorite garnets (0.90 ct total weight) and accented by a row of pave-set black diamonds (0.15 ct total). Cufflinks are designed to be fully interchangeable with a double bayonet fitting and both the front and back of the links are removable so that other fronts and backs could be made to give a gentleman a wardrobe of cufflinks.

A collar of hammered-finish plaques of black onyx are separated by textured 19K white gold dividers. The articulated neckpiece molds perfectly to the wearer's neck.

What can you do when you find a single freshwater pearl that "wiggles", "squirms" and 'talks' like a caterpillar except make a caterpillar!!
When I found this pearl at the Tucson Gem Fair in 2010 I knew instantly that it was the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. Then the search began to find another pearl for his hookah pipe. With some research I found the original wood engraving illustrations by John Tenniel for the first edition of Lewis Carroll's classic book that provided the inspiration for the design. The overall height is 9 cm (3.5 inches) including the base.
