A Setting for a Friend

Challenge: Custom setting

Description

My good friend found this stone at a show, and it spoke to her. Many times this happens to all of us, and often the item is a happy purchase, well loved for years.

Challenge: How to hold the stone!

Description

Since my friend raised chickens in order to have eggs to sell, I ended up with this wishbone-shaped setting in sterling silver. The open back lets the stone’s colors show on both sides, while the minimalist setting still shelters the stone from damage.

As usual in my hand crafted original work, this is a one-of-a-kind pendant, exclusive for her to wear proudly and to pass on to future generations.
