Sculpted Pendant

This pendant is particularly unique. I was playing with melting silver when I discovered I could kind of sculpt it in its molten form. This led to a lot of experimenting. I saved a bunch of my “sculptures” to be used in some project later. Later came when I was asking this super interesting stone how it would like to be expressed. It all came together then.

This stone is also super unique. I found it at a Metal Werx event back in 2019, when we lived in Boston. There were a number of lapidaries and stone/gemstone sellers there, but after visiting the first one, I realized I’d already blown my budget. ;) It was there that I found this stone. I had never seen anything like it before! They explained that it was rose quartz with a blue iridescent coating created using copper and electricity. I thought it was so neat I got a few of them.

This pendant is completely handmade from sterling silver. It measures 2⅛ inches tall, just under 1½ inches wide, and hangs from an 18-inch sterling silver chain.
