| This diminutive sterling silver pendant, set with a hand-cut natural sapphire cabachon, was made as a gift for my mother. To make a similar pendant, with a laboratory-grown sapphire, would cost around $100, a natural sapphire would, of course, add to the price. |
| The second piece in my "Role-reversal" series, this pendant is fabricated from sterling silver, with a cloisonné enamel set within a shadowbox cage, and an engraved 22k/sterling bi-metal tiger. You can also see a larger image of the pendant, or a detail of the engraving. |
| My personal imagery, the horse running forward yet looking to the past, decorates the enamel on this piece, which I wear hanging from a strand of varied handmade glass beads, and tiny African bronze bells. I would be delighted to make a pendant for you that is as meaningful as this one is for me... |
| Lunule pendants were found in Viking Scandinavia in various shapes, sizes and complexity. I enjoy replicating them in sterling silver, as well as creating original designs in this style. I usually have a varied assortment of lunules available. |
| The tiny bit of cloisonné in the center of this piece started out as a sample piece for an elaborate coronet. It kept telling me it wanted to be a cross, so I eventually made one; then it kept telling me it wanted lapis, so I added the tiny cabachons. Eventually it happily, and quietly, found the person who was waiting for me to complete it. |
