New In My Studio: Blue Agate Cameo Pendant

I am proud to present the first entry in my Mother’s Day collection!

Mother and Baby Blue Cameo PendantThis blue agate cameo is just gorgeous, and so incredibly detailed.  I set it in sterling silver wire, embellishing with Victorian swirls and Swarovski pearls.

Then the trouble started.

I realized that I had made the top loop (for hanging the bail on) too large for my liking. Now I needed to figure out how to camouflage it. I started experimenting with bail styles.

No less than SIX attempts later, I had my design for the bail. It is accented with a Swarovski pearl. It is well balanced.

But I threw an awful lot of wire across the room that night.

This blue agate cameo pendant is now available in my ArtFire
Studio
