Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2008
Item : #13
Setting Design : Original by Julia Kay Taylor (JKT)

Comments : This is an amazing setting that beautifully highlights the unique Acorn design of this gem. The profile is a central feature of this setting and the stone is very open allowing light to enter the gem... this maderia citrine was a large stone. This shows what can be done with a creative imagination and skill... a wonderful setting by Julia Kay Taylor.

Stone : Natural Blue Topaz from O'Briens Creek
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2009
Item : #115
Setting Design : Original by Sally from Heart of Water Jewels

Comments : A very elegant setting holds this natural blue topaz from O'Briens creek. The setting looks like a chalice or a lotus flower cupping the gem for the world to see. A beautiful piece of work! Its now living in a very cold part of the world, a long, long way from the hot North Queensland bush where it was found. This is why I love cutting beautiful gemstones.

Stone : Topaz
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2009
Item : #113
Setting Design : Original by Graham The Jeweller

Comments : When I first saw these cufflinks I was totally blown away! The stones were commissioned by friends out at the gemfields and after I had cut them we sent the stones off to an excellent jeweller that we've worked with before. What we got back was amazing! I have never seen anything like these cufflinks before. The work was first class and the design stunning. The metal is sterling silver and the holes drilled in the side let light into and under the stone so as to add life and sparkle to the stones. I want a pair for myself now. :-)

This shows what you can do with some big O'Briens Creek topaz and a little imagination!!!

Stone : Tourmaline
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2009
Item : #25
Setting Design : Original

Comments : A customer came by the other day and showed me a ring that she had specially made that included a tourmaline which she had purchased from me last year. The setting is gold with a small accent diamond and shows off the facinating "pixelation" effect of the tourmaline's Smith Bar design. An absolutely beautiful setting!
