Multi-Stone Pendants

Recovering from ankle surgery has me homebound this winter. The good side is that it has forced me to focus on making many new jewelry pendants.

Having the extra time has also allowed me to make more complicated stone pieces. This blog will concentrate on pendants with multiple pieces. Many of them are hinged so the bottom moves. There are advantages to this configuration. When you sit, stand, or move, the pendant will react and make it more noticeable (and who doesn’t want to be noticed?). There is no reason why everything in life needs to be static. (Man, that’s a pretty profound statement). Enjoy these new artworks, as much as I did making them.

The collection posted features primarily Great Lakes Regional Gemstones, but there are a couple non-Great Lakes Gems in the mix.

An Isle Royale Greenstone with Thomsonite inclusions, was combined with Blue Centennial Datolite. Sorry; this one is sold.
Leland Blue slag glass looks great with flashy crystal CZ’s
Yopperland Greenstone Pendant
I call these Yooperland Specials; The U.P. is Firebrick. The Isle Royale Greenstone (from the Island), and they are all on a Blue Lace Agate base.
Double Agate pendant
From the Kearsarge Lode near Calumet Michigan, this Copper Agate is coupled with Pink Gold Beads. The beads and the Pink Gold in the wrapping, bring out the Copper Inclusions in the Agate.
A petite double Greenstone pendant .
One of the best Pink Petoskey Stones I’ve done in a while.

This will be the first part of two or three blogs on new jewelry I’ve made recently. Most of the new ones are for sale on line, or are in our show inventory. If you are interested in any of them call or e-mail us at Snobappealjewelry@yahoo.com.
