It is a natural quartz crystal point that I inverted, then cut and carved into a \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003epolished dome. The dome creates a magnifying effect that reveals and enhances \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ethe crystal’s natural facets. Rather than cutting traditional gemstone facets, I chose \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eto work with those already present in the quartz, using its natural geometry to \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ecreate unique optical effects. It is a perfect balance between human intervention \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eand natural beauty. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eAround the stone, I carved a massive tree-shaped shank. In the end, it became a \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003etrue statement piece and conversation starter.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Matias Beaulieu Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lapaigallery.com\/collections\/matias-beaulieu-ejq\"\u003eMatias Beaulieu Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lapaigallery.com\/pages\/23rd-annual-national-jewellery-student-competition\" title=\"23rd ANJSC Exhibition\"\u003eReturn to 23rd ANJSC Exhibition \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L.A.
