The heart is handcrafted in sterling silver wire that I first gently hammered and then wrapped in thinnest silver wire. I coiled up the two ends and between them I strung one gorgeous little garnet faceted briolette (6x6mm). The chain consists of 3mm garnet rounds that I strung together with fine silver wire and of a very fine and almost sparkly silver chain. Lobster clasp at end

This 130 carat handcrafted Rose Quartz pendant is created swirling and shaping sterling silver filled wire by hand, adding a pewter heart charm to enhance the natural beauty and shape of the stone. Notice how the shaping of the wire, charm and shape of the stone compliment each other. The stone's color is a beautiful soft pink and has a very nice luster.
It measures 1 1/2" across and 2 1/2" top to tip including the bail.
The bail is designed to be large enough to accommodate your favorite chain, choker or cord. Black leather cord necklace included.
All purchases are nicely packaged in a gift box.
Rose Quartz's healing effects:
Spiritually- Sensitivity
Subconsciously- Makes open, helpful, loving and romantic
Mentally- Enhances a harmonious living together
Physically- Helps with diseases of the heart, blood and sexual organs, refines the senses
The latest design in my recent series using coiled spirals in antiqued copper. This is a teardrop shaped hammered pendant with a spiral section at the base and hammered bail loops.

Sterling and fine silver, acqua chalcedony beautiful icy briolettes...
This was a pendant that I made for a friend's birthday. We used to share booth space at all the local craft shows and it was a time of intense creativity for me. We really worked well together in that we were always working hard to come up with new ideas to impress each other. We built off of each other's ideas in a way that was both competitive and collaborative. This was probably my first real period of growth as a jeweler.
This pendant features a prominently displayed lampworked glass bead by Dan Adams. This was before I had ever really worked with him-- this was just a bead that I bought from him. In this piece I chose to orient the bead flat so that you see what is essentially the side of the bead. This was a more subtle angle but when you caught a glimpse of the bead from the side, it would kind of surprise you at the amount of detail that was there but which you hadn't yet seen.
This piece is sterling silver and fine silver, with an onyx cabochon. The pendant was reversible with the front and back the same.
