What amazing things come out of the earth! Here are a few pieces I completed this week. The first is a bracelet with plume agate, fossil coral, ammonite, and trilobite fossils. The bracelet is big, sturdy, and elemental. I used a heavy gauge silver for the links and it is a gorgeous statement piece!
This set of four pendants are also excellent stones with a very elemental quality. They are fossil coral, crazy lace agate, laguna agate, and ocean jasper. The metalwork in these is very minimal. I made them with the simple riveted bail detail after drilling a hole at the top of each cabochon. This enables me to make a simple piece using less metal, thus keeping the price of these affordable. All four stones were cut by lapidary artists in the USA. I think they look quite nice on a simple leather cord. These pieces will all be at Gallery 54 late next week.
