Here is a fragile and organic piece that happened, well, rather naturally!

I have been having fun with making use of more organic shapes in my work, so I began cutting shapes similar to lotus roots, or leopards’ areas, or some sort of lichen. It becomes fairly meditative. Here is the result.

It’s a sterling silver oval with holes that I cut using my trusty jeweler’s saw. It is about 23 mm long. A small, 6mm, polished Lake Superior agate is set in a narrow band of 14k gold as the centerpiece of the pendant. There is another little hole cut into the silver behind the agate to let a little light pass through the stone. The pendant is held on 16 inches of sterling silver chain finished with my customized sterling clasp. All silver has actually been oxidized and brushed for a rustic glow.

I hope you like as much as I do!
