Skyline Gallery owners Ursula Rodgers and Lucine Dirtadian have been collaborating on creating jewelry since 1989. Their fine jewelry business, Four Hands Images, is known for its highly crafted earrings, pendants, rings, bracelets and necklaces made of gold or platinum and featuring semi-precious or precious stones including diamonds, pearls, opals, jasper, agates, tanzanite, and tourmaline.

Through Four Hands Images, Ursula and Lucine design and create a line of jewelry, which they wholesale to the 100 top retail galleries in the U.S. and Virgin Islands, and they participate in juried retail arts and crafts shows. In addition, they design and produce one of a kind, commissioned pieces for individuals. Their designs are sophisticated and clean, reflecting the organic nature of the materials incorporated. Four Hands Images has a top rating from the Jewelers Bond of Trade.
