Steve Walters Hand-Carved RARE MATCHING PAIR Hematite, Jade, Titanium and Mother of Pearl Sculpture - Custom Designer Free-Form rectangular
The Pieces
Up for sale is a masterful, hand-carved matching pair of Hematite, Jade, Titanium and Mother of Pearl Sculpture creations by the award-winning lapidary artist Steve Walters. Known for his revolutionary "sculptural" approach to gemstones, this piece exemplifies his ability to blend raw natural beauty with sophisticated, free-hand geometry.
In these 46.7ct total carat weight matching pair masterpieces, Walters explores a sophisticated, monochromatic-leaning palette that emphasizes form and reflection over high color. The inclusion of Hematite provides a sub-metallic, mirror-like depth that serves as a powerful foundation for the piece, while the Titanium elements introduce a sleek, futuristic edge. This 'industrial-meets-organic' narrative is softened by the presence of Jade and the gentle, rolling iridescence of Mother of Pearl. At only 4.1mm in depth, this sculpture possesses a remarkably slim, elegant profile, making it a dream for a designer looking to create a low-profile, high-impact statement earrings. It is a quintessential study in surface tension and material contrast, representing Walters’ ability to make disparate elements feel like a singular, fluid extension of modern architectural design.
