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.

Ellygator In reply to IsaiahS [2010-08-08 14:44:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! I do have two more cabs, though they are asymmetrical, so I'd have to design a slightly different setting. With materials and time it would come to $200. If you're interested, just note me with your email addy and I'll send you some possible designs to look at.

Thanks so much! Silver art clay is a bit of a pricey hobby, but I think it's an easier way to make silver jewelry than traditional metalsmithing...

Ellygator In reply to yuchimiki [2010-08-08 15:25:28 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately the clay has become very pricey. As everyone invests in metals these days, it's gone up from $1 per gram to about $2.50 per gram...

At least I hope the price won't go up, but knowing how the world goes, maybe it will...
