Chalcedony Square Blossom Sterling Silver Pendant
Combining metalwork and wirework techniques, this pendant features a seemingly glowing blue chalcedony cabochon which I have set within an organic shaped wire blossom. I had a shape/design in mind when I started making this pendant but the petal details sort of 'grew' as I was creating it. This is my favourite kind of jewellery making as the end product can be a pleasant surprise!

ReplyDeleteThank you SMJ
DeleteI really love this blue chalcedony, I've not used this gemstone much and I'm not sure why!
Hope you are keeping well.

That's beautiful, I love the shape :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Tracy!
DeleteI am really drawn to this petal shape and have used it in a few other pieces and about to use it in more designs (variations of this pendant).
All the best

Oh you totally make me want to explore more in the wire work department. That pendant is lovely ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks lch - funny old world isn't it... I look at your work and you inspire me too - inspire me to improve my metalwork skills with the lovely shapes you create from metal! My wirework ideas come from doodles and shapes I see anywhere and everywhere (sometimes when I close my eyes, shapes and swirls pop up!). I have also started to create a piece of jewellery and lie it down on a piece of paper and draw extra shapes around or within it and then think how I can recreate this with wire. That's how the extra detail on this pendant came about.
DeleteHappy 2014 to you - hope all is well with you and your family.
