Description (2010), 16" for overall length of necklace, silver art clay (cut, carved, fired, antiqued, polished and burnished), bezel wire, blue jasper cab and beads, silver rope chain made from 24 gauge silver wire, silver clasp finding

A blue companion piece to the "Poison" necklace [link] only this time I didn't add strung jasper beads to the central panel. Instead I hooked the pendant up with two square jasper beads for additional accents and then finished off with two lengths of self-made rope-chain and a silver clasp.

I have two more blue jasper cabs with even more amazing veining, however they are more asymmetrical and I am still refining the design to balance out the odd shape of the stones before setting those.

When I look at your works I think about giving up beading - if only I could learn your technics ...

I guess the curved edge and piercings in the metal have a bit of a batleth feel about them...

Not when I made it. But when you mentioned it I could really see the connection. Might be fun to make something a Klingon would wear intentionally!
