Tree of Life Wirewrapped Agate Sterling Silver Pendant

The Tree of Life is an esoteric philosophy common to many cultures and mythologies, and the Ancients envisioned the entire cosmos in the form of a tree whose roots grow deep in the ground, branches reaching high into the heavens. 

 This Tree of Life pendant is made of sterling silver filled wire and natural agate cabochon.
The pendant's size: 1 1/2" x 2 3/4" (4cm x7cm)

 Agate is an excellent stone for re-balancing and harmonizing body, mind and spirit. It cleanses and stabilizes the aura, eliminating and transforming negativity. Agate enhances mental function, improving concentration, perception and analytical abilities. It soothes and calms, healing inner anger or tension and creates a sense of security and safety.

Druzy Cabochon Pendants

About three years ago, at the Tucson Gem show I bought beautiful druzy cabochons. Druzy cabochon, also known as drusy cabs, are cabochons named for having a druse, or an area filled with small quartz crystals within or on the surface of the stone. Each stone is hand-cut to best display the druse. Each drusy gem is unique and unlike any other. 
Last week I found a good way to frame the cabs into pendants showing the beauty of the natural stone.

This was the first pendant. The color and structure of this stone reminds me caramel sprinkled with sugar. So sweet!  

Total length of the pendant is 3" (7.5 cm), wight 1 1/2" (3.5 cm)

Surface of this large cabochon has also "sweet" color of hot cocoa. 
Total length of this pendant is 2 3/4" (7 cm), wight 1 1/2" (4 cm).

This cab (below) is a little smaller. This pendant was made with sterling silver filled wire; I oxidized and polished it for antiqued look.
Total length of the pendant is 2 3/8" (6 cm), wight 1 7/16" (35mm).

Pink Coral Sterling Silver Pendant

Do you have some single unusual beads and do not know what to do with them?
I had a pink coral beads for 5 years or so. I even do not remember where I got it. Today, finally, it happened! :)
I made a pendant out of it. 

I used sterling silver filled wire, sterling silver beads and this pink free-form coral bead. 

The pendant measures about 2"(5 cm).
Comes with sterling silver filled 18" chain (46cm)

The pendant is very unusual and will make a nice conversation piece! 

You can buy it here (only one available).

"Whiskered" Jasper Necklace

I made this necklace a year or two ago, but did not get a chance to show it here :)
Made of a big beautiful jasper bead, this choker  is a truly statement necklace.

The bead has nice colors- from pink to dark green. the "whiskers"  and all wraps are made of argentium sterling silver wire and will not tarnish  like sterling silver. The natural tan hemp cord is a perfect match for this focal stone.
