What's going on @ Onetribe

We hope everyone had a great labor day weekend. We were closed Monday (postal holiday) but were right back at it Tuesday morning. So far this week we’ve made a couple of interesting sets of jewelry of note. The first is a set of really pretty 1″ Rutilated Quartz plugs – custom width and domed faces/flat backs. Tons of super fine rutile that just glows like strands of gold in the nearly crystal clear quartz.

This set is one of the several sets I am working on from this material, which we acquired a while back. See this blog post for an explanation of what these golden strands are.

The other particularly rad set of jewelry I photographed prior to shipment was this set of wild 1.5″ green fluorite plugs with tons of inclusions and hints of clear and purple fluorite throughout as well. For some reason the exact shade of green was virtually impossible to convey via the camera, even in natural daylight, so the color is a little bit muted. But you get the idea! :) Definitely one of the more unique sets of jewelry we’ve sent out in terms of color and pattern.

We should have a restock of many horn and bone items to throw up on the site here very soon, as well as some possible pre-made stone stock. Keep your eyes peeled over the next two weeks!

I can’t imagine how gorgeous both of these pairs would look in strong daylight. Wonderful work as always.
