I love this cabochon!  It has color, and pattern.  I also love spirals;  I combined the two in this necklace.  I used patterned sterling and copper for the bail.  The bezel is fine silver, as usual.  I then strung it with jasper and glass beads separated by Bali silver.

This stone is a California native, as I am.  It found a new home with a gentleman who purchased it after I restrung it with Mooakite beads.  Selling a piece is such a validation!

A Blast from the Past

by vickik on December 17, 2008

My own blog.  What to write about?  I’ve mulled over this for several weeks, and decided to write about one of my favorite pendants that I’ve made.  I made it quite a while ago, in the early 1990’s.  I bought a fabulous Luna Agate cab from one of my favorite stone dealers, Donald Olson.  It has burgundy, white, and a soft blue hue to it.  I matched it up with two Mojave Blue chalcedony cabs, real nice ones, blue with a pink overtone.  The garnet came next, it paired beautifully with the burgundy color in the Luna agate.  It certainly is the biggest piece I’ve done, at 3 inches in length.  I textured the area around the stones to give it some variety.  To finish it off, I strung it on garnet, sterling and howlite beads.  I hope you like it as much as I do!
