Featured Studio piece 3-9-10


Today I would like to feature a wire wrapped pendant from my studio. This pendant is built around a soapstone cabachon. Soapstone is the stone of choice for worry stones, since you can rub on the smooth surface and over time wear it down. Putting this in a pendant is unusual but its lovely green and yellow color makes it an excellent focal. I cradled the cabachon in brass wire frames held together by tight brass wire wrapping. I then added some little labradodrite and iolite rounds for a splash of contrasting color. This piece will come with your choice of a brass or copper chain. $40

Labradorite




I have always loved labradorite. I adore the blue fire that glimmers in the light. I love the earthy feel of the greys and black flecks. I just love it. So, when I purchase there's lovely labradorite briolettes a year ago, I knew it would take me ages to compose a piece to properly display them. I finally combined them with sterling silver chain and wire into this stunning necklace.
