This exquisite necklace, handcrafted by artisan Rachel, is a stunning celebration of craftsmanship, creativity, and natural beauty. The centerpiece is a freeform Vogesite cabochon, bezel set in sterling silver and placed atop a hand-cut, layered silver platform that brings dimension and character to the pendant. Rachel thoughtfully combined two layers of sterling silver sheet, meticulously riveted together to create texture and depth. A subtle hand-cut leaf motif on the reverse side adds an element of surprise and visual interest, while also allowing a glimpse of the stone from behind.
The cabochon’s earthy, soft hues are further enhanced by Wild Horse Jasper beads, which are integrated into the fully handcrafted chain. Each link and connector was individually cut, soldered, and assembled by hand from sterling silver, ensuring not just beauty but also durability and a personal touch.
A light patina was added to the pendant to bring out the hand-hammered textures and give the piece a subtle antique finish. The pendant measures just over 2 inches long and 1 inch wide at its broadest point, making it a bold yet elegant statement piece. The necklace is 20 inches in length, offering a perfect drape for most necklines.
Offered at $90.00, this one-of-a-kind piece is ideal for collectors of artisan jewelry or anyone looking to add a meaningful, handcrafted treasure to their wardrobe. A true blend of natural stone beauty and silversmith artistry.
