Why: Pop quiz...what family of gems includes Emerald, Aquamarine and Morganite? Ticktock, ticktock, time's up! And the answer is Beryl! Yep, Beryl ranges a wide spectrum from the deeply hued Red Beryl (super super rare!) and velvety green Emerald to the pastel pale rose of Morganite, icy blue Aquamarine and sophisticated Golden Beryl. Madelynn frames these lovely gems, along with Blue and White Topaz, Aquamarine, Peridot, Amethyst and Rose-cut Diamonds in recycled 14K gold and sterling silver. All of her gems are naturally-sourced and conflict-free. I love the simplicity of her style...the settings are beautifully and skillfully finished, and the look is classic and uncomplicated.
Just how life should be.  :)
