Make no mistake, this is no ordinary one-of-a- kind. Detailed time and design went into creating this piece. First the black stone in this pendant came to me when hounding for Montana agate in Rosebud, MT. Favored by a land owner he simply gave the 8" diameter mistory stone to me. The stone was slabbed and out of it came this cab, carved, polished and set with sterling precast sun flower, and rosebuds set with 4mm amethyst and citrine gem stones. All sterling silver wire and findings. The necklace if of lava stone beads silver spacers and two 8mm sterling beads. Silver hishi tube beads and large lobster clasp. Item #3326

Don't say it, don't even think it, "I saw one just like it". If you have there must be two of me. In most cases I try to let ideas come to me with as little outside influences possible. I know there are artisans who feel they have an edge on everyone. I know great minds run together, or at least
that is what I have heard. I have taken "desert roses" from my grandfather's treasure and set peridot, citrine, and garnet in the natural hollow, with a little help. I used heavy sterling stock and
soldered wire with beads and loops. The dangling gems looked all right, but still seemed a little naked. I added the string of peridot, citrine and grarnet beads to fill the void. I believe we have a nice appearance here that will go well on your evening out to a nice dinner. Item# 2876
