Brilliant! The sheer audacity to put wood and uncut diamonds together is simply… brilliant! The warm sensual forms of polished wood against the “au natural” stones is incredibly compelling. Brava Christine!

Wowee, wow, wow, wow! Those are stunnng! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love these! The contrast between the two materials is exciting yet balanced.
I’ve always loved the idea of uncut stones clustered/clumped together; Christine has pulled this off beautifully and so artistically, in combining the stones with wood….these pieces are pure perfection. I absolutely covet “Ice Drops” and “Chica Dee”!
