Copper Serpentine necklace
Another of my latest creations, this was an
experiment with settings. I really like semi-precious stones, the
colors and textures of God's creations. Having worked at a lapidary
(just one summer in college), I also appreciate odd-shaped cabachons
(or non-calibrated, free form cabs), but then you can't just buy a
setting for them...and I don't do blow-torch work. So, I've
experimented with copper sheet metal and wire (and PMC, but that one's still
a work in progress). The stone is a copper-based mineral called
serpentine. SOLD
