Artist's Comments

(2008) 2"x 2.5" for the silver pendant including bail, 19" for the overall length of the necklace.

Art Clay Silver (cut, sculpted, fired and patinaed), silver bezel wire, pure silver wire, banded agate cab, opalescent enamel, 22 gauge sterling silver wire and silver finding for the clasp of the necklace

I carved this design into a flat piece of Art Clay Silver, fired it, added the bezel to hold the central agate and then enameled all of the recessed areas with opalescent enamel. I then set the stone, antiqued and polished the silver and added the bail.

The enamel was a recent acquisition and has the most amazing pale blue over ochre shimmer, especially in direct sunlight, where it truly looks like liqid opal has flown over the pendant and pooled among the knotwork.

The piece is lovely! I'm also curious about the chain; it looks like something that could be makable. Do you think you could get a closer picture of it?
