‘Mossy glade’ chrysocolla pendant
I have called this my ‘mossy glade’ pendant and it is Eni Oken inspired. The stone is chrysocolla and this particular example has many beautiful shades of green within it. I built the assymetric design on the left shoulder of the pendant to hide the fact that the stone itself had not been cut straight across the top. Due to this flaw I had been wondering what to do with it for a while.
The wire is silver-plated (24 and 26 gauge) and the ornamentation on the surface includes a small Swarovski butterfly, peridot chips and silver beads. A basketweave effect has been used to create the bail. Since taking this picture I have hung the pendant on a simple wire necklace that I coiled to match the framework of the finished pendant. I thought the presentation should remain simple to draw the eye to the gemstone and wirework.
