Glyptic (Gemstone Carving) Gallery and Pricelist

There is nothing in this world that can be compared to the perfection and shine of a gemstone. They have an extraordinary strength and can be carved into pieces of art that will last for aeons to come. The rare knowledge of the glyptic is a craft in itself and has been practiced amongst only a few people around this globe. Carving a gemstone takes a lot of patience and time that cannot be valued highly enough.

 To date, this is the largest piece of carnelian I have been tempted to shape. I was inspired by the form of the raw stone itself and was, at the time, drawing and sculpting the human form in other media – NZ native timbers and larger hard stone. A stunning piece
