"Temporal" by Chris Van Dyke

Here is the latest custom designed Asheville jewelry by Chris Van Dyke.  Temporal was just finished  using a large piece of boulder opal that we've had just waiting to be set.

You can clearly see the influence of his dad in this piece, where Chris began learning the jewelry trade.

Representing at least 20 hrs. of work to make from the ground up, Temporal includes a large amount of white and yellow gold, a 32.8ct. boulder opal, and 2 round diamonds at .2 and .21 ct.

This piece reminds us of a sundial and represents the value of time.  Temporal seems fitting.
