Amber Glow Necklace

I love the design of Sensational Turquoise Necklace very much so,
I decided to make a similar piece with precious metal instead...

The upper portion of the pendant features a gorgeous
Brazilian Amethyst, a rich purple stone that is surrounded by
an inner circle of meticulously hand-wrapped fine silver.
This inner circle then expands to a larger circle that contains an
additional weave of fine silver and twelve sterling silver beads.
On the sides of the pendant, draped the finest
Smoky Quartz onion briolettes and Garnet rondelles.
Extending from these semi-precious stones are sterling silver links
that lead to a magnificently flawless
Citrine Hydrothermal Quartz briolette,
a brilliant stone with a warm and vibrant amber glow.

The whole piece had been oxidised and polished
to bring out the depth of tone.

Pendant measures
approximately 2.3" at its widest point and is 4.5" long.
Hangs from a 20" sterling silver chain.


(All stones are AA-AAA quality with excellent cut, clarity and faceting)
