English major, artist, professional puppeteer, musical comedian- jeweler Sallyjane has made the round looking for an art medium to call home. It wasn’t until she started going to gem shows and got a piece of rutilated quartz wrapped when inspiration struck. Sallyjane started experimenting with wire-wrapped jewelry, and three years later went fulltime with the craft. For over 25 years, Sallyjane has been making wire wrapped jewelry with the crystals, fossils, meteorites, and gemstones from around the world with her husband, Steve. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, they travel across the US to showcase Sallyjane’s jewelry at gem and craft shows.

These fossil shells, naturally coated with druzy quartz crystals are a rare and recent discovery in the Dhar region of India. Some of the crystals have been coated with an iridescent metallic finish to give them a little color. The shells are unique not only because of the crystallization, but also because they have a left-handed spiral, which only occurs in about 10% of shells. The fossil shells date about 100 million years.
