Here Comes the Sun!

We're all too anxious for summer here at Art Metals Studio. If we can't count on the Sun, we'll fake it with a sparkly Yellow Sapphire like the one pictured here! Add a couple of Diamonds and you might not even notice those grey clouds. Pictured here resting on an Aquamarine crystal (March's Birthstone, btw) you could just squint your eyes and imagine the bright Sun rising over our beautiful Lake Michigan on a hot summer day. Just a few more months, my friends!
