Jim traveled throughout the Southwest and California for many years. On every trip he picked up a few more stones from small lapidary shops throughout the desert. After many years he created this set. 

Many are odd sizes and hand-cut, so Jim handmade a bezel for each one. The chain is handmade links and the length can be adjusted by the wearer. 

This is a remarkable piece. Signed Sir Jim Hayes
