Silver Carved Band Bracelet

This bracelet sits low on the wrist. The straight lines of the bracelet shape are juxtaposed with the flowing lines of the carving. Hand-carved silver has it’s own unique shimmer.

This piece is about half an inch wide. For women it would fit on a larger wrist, for men, a medium-sized wrist.

Silver Hollow Body Modern Pendant with Agate

I had this piece of agate for about four months before I came up with a design for it. The stone itself is thick yet translucent, and the unique pattern inside the stone called for an organic shape. The depth of the pattern seems like it’s moving forward, so I needed to make a piece thick enough to honor that movement—and at the same time I wanted light to pass through the stone while forming a substantial piece of silver. This definitely called for hollow work.

This piece is approximately 3 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide by a half inch thick. Hand fabricated.

Moon Pendants Pendant Silver Zen Collection

Amethyst Crescent Moon

Amethyst Crescent Moon

The color of the amethyst in this pendant is such a rich purple it practically glows.

Amethyst is traditionally worn to guard the wearer from drunkenness and poison. (Many people in recovery love this stone). Amethyst is also known to bring about pleasant or prophetic dreams. It is aligned with the Crown, or Seventh Chakra, so it may open the wearer to spiritual wisdom.

This hand-carved pendant measures 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Polished Silver and Turquoise Shadowbox Pendant

I love making shadowboxes!

Turquoise housed in a modern-styled object with organic detailing make a stunning combination. This is a one-of-a-kind hand-hammered hollow form.

This pendant sold the same day I made it. It is about 2 1/2 inches long, about 1/2 inch wide and 1/4 inch deep. Holes are cut so that the chain can pass through the pendant.
