Reflections of You

At Robin Richman January 15, 2012 it's “Reflections of You,” a new collection consisting of book matched stone slices made into neck pieces, earrings and rings. The pieces allude to the Rorschach Tradition, started in 1921, in which Hermann Rorschach began using symmetrical ink blots for psychometric analysis. This became known as the Rorschach Inkblot Method. A psychologist can speculate on one's personality characteristics and emotional function according to what they see in the inkblots.

Fantastic faces, places and scenes are reflected in the shapes and internal structures of the stones from this collection.

Featured stones include Mexican Lace Agate, Eastern Montana Porcelainite, Oregon Obsidian and select cuts of 50 million year old petrified wood. The stone slabs are mounted on carved wooden substrates, and strung with silver chains, each being as unique as the person wearing it.
