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.

Rosarita is a glass-like material similar to obsidian, and is produced as a byproduct of gold refining. When gold-bearing ore is heated to high temperatures in a kiln, the gold sinks to the bottom and the non-metals solidify into boulders of brilliant red (Rosarita) and orange (Tequila Sunrise). With its intense red color and nearly perfect clarity, Rosarita is a gorgeous alternative to the scarce and endangered Mediterranean coral.
