Cabathon piece # 6

 Dumortierite and Pezoatite Pendant

 Number 6 in series of cabochon pendants, this one contains some mineral obscurities for sure. The pink stone is a pezoatite from Madagascar given its name by Dr. Frederico Pezoata. It is considered by some to be the 7th or 8th member of the beryl family. The blue cabochon is a Dumortierite also from Madagascar.  Absent of engravings, this pendant is a new take on an older style of my jewelry.  The tubing for the rivets which hold this piece together has been drawn down to 4 different sizes, creating the descending sizes; from top/bottom to middle. 4 main components make up this work; two split top layers, one back layer with the cabochon setting and the bale                                                                         

 

  No it didn't break.  This pendant has a swinging bale that a 4mm chain will fit through.  The swinging action is playful and allows for a more supple interaction between the pendant and the chain.  It swings very freely.

  

 Pictured at right is the pendant hanging on a cable style omega chain.

To the left is a reverse side photo.  Ray cutouts have been pierced in the backside revealing the underside of the cabochon.  This pendant is available as of the time of this posting. Price is $1950 including insured shipping via ups.  Thanks for taking time to checkout my blog.  I hope you have enjoyed it.
