lapis pendant 

Fabricated Sterling and lapis cabochon.  A little over an inch long.

This is a piece from a while back.  I was looking through some of my previous work to find some I could use as gifts, and ran across this again.  I had forgotten about it.  A single piece serves as the bail and holds the stone.  It articulates at the rivet that holds it and the horseshoe shaped wire.  I seem to include movement in many of the pieces.

This close up shows the details.  The lapis is a nice piece with a gold fleck (not so visible here) near the center.

I’m trying to show the scale here.

Another view.

And one more, showing how it is worn suspended from a chain.  Let me know what you think.

Just finished.  Been at this one for a couple of years.  Thirty-eight beads; about 15 minutes to make each one.  The four large beads are about 9/16″, the small ones are about 3/8″.  The total length is just under 19″.  The beads are hollow, but it still has a little over 2 1/4 oz. of silver.

There are four large beads, six medium sized, and 28 of the smaller ones.

A lobster claw clasp holds it securely.  It’s held together with a vinyl seven strand stainless wire, doubled.

It fits like a loose choker.
