Carnelian Cabochon Sterling Silver Gingko Pendant

Red carnelian cabochon stone and silver gingko tree leaves necklace pendant
Some fossils of the gingko tree date back 270 million years

This Sterling silver pendant swings like the falling leaves of the ancient gingko tree. Gingko trees have always been surrounded by lore and are often assosiated with longevity. You can even read more about what Botanist Peter Crane has to say to Yale Magazine about Gingko trees here.  In this pendant I have chosen to set a 7 mm round Carnelian cab in a Sterling bezel on top of the gingko leaves to shine with the color of late summer. Sold with an 18” Sterling snake chain. Price: $ 140 (Item N-106)

Sterling Silver, Crazy Lace Agate, and Carnelian Pendant on Jasper, Smokey Quartz and Sterling Silver Beaded Necklace

 

In this pendant, I have combined several different colors together. The center stone, a large special open geode of crazy lace agate is topped with sterling silver pieces cast in a combination of using cuttlebone style and broom cast techniques. A small carnelian cab is bezel set in silver to pull the necklace beads and the pendant together. The necklace has a variety of jasper, faceted smokey quartz and metal beads strung with heavy tiger tail and finished with a sterling sliver toggle style clasp. Priced at $400.
