Tiffany Pendant

Description

I made this pendant right at the start of spring. I really like the whole over bezel look, it seems to really set off this stone and gives such an interesting look to the over all work.

My original training was in semi precious stone and bezel work. I did tons of work that way, bought specialized equipment (yep there is one that is really important that few know about) and went to town. Even though i did lots of original mounting, it seemed to me to be only so many ways to present a stone in a bezel and keep it interesting and fresh. I am wrong of course there is an infinite number of ways to go about bezeling.

This is a Tiffany stone, set on a sterling base and a fine silver bezel. Of particular interest on this work is the over bezel and the bail, both original concepts. The side ornamentation include imprinted circles accents and sculpted flowers on both sides. Tiffany stone goes by another name but I forget what it is called.

For some reason over the last little while, I started getting into mostly metal only work. I think it was because I got bored with bezel work. This is the first bezel work I have done in a long while. I was missing the technique so much that the other day that I grabbed a decent stone and went to town. Personally, I am extremely happy with the outcome. I seem to have moved to a whole new and interesting place in this art form.

I put this work on display for the farmers markets i have been showing at and the work received tons and tons of attention. So much so, that when it sold, I was bummed. lol The next one I make will be for display purposes only lol. And now I am in the market for some killer stones again. :)
