If you follow my work, then you know I design sterling silver settings to highlight the unique characteristics of each designer free-form Carver gemstone that I cut.
I previously have made sterling silver bracelets which I have thought were best at emphasizing each gemstone’s beauty. The setting is secondary to the stone!
Recently, however, I cut a Carver geode with several unique characteristics, including a striking petite red feature and a crystalline lined geode center, which begged for something different. The challenge was to design a setting to highlight the stone’s crystalline pocket which, without doubt, is the most unique feature of the stone.
A mirror and the decision to create a pendant, not a bracelet, was the answer! Viewing the creation will explain this choice. This is a totally new design and the first pendant which I have offered for sale.
Nice pendant John.
Thanks, Ring.
