Pearl in hollow boulder pendant
Argentium silver arranged in a casual boulder shape. I cut bits of silver wire and lay them out in a rough design – which I then fuse together. I add more bits of silver to flush out the design and fuse again. I clean it all up and determine where the bezel will sit. And I solder on the top bail.
This navy blue Mabe’ pearl is set with a bezel mounting. I carefully measure the bezel for each Pearl or Gemstone. First I solder the walls of the bezel in a circle. Which is then shaped to fit the Pearl. Then I attach the wall to the base, and solder again. More cleaning and polishing and the bezel is ready to solder to the pendant design. Then I can set the Mabe’ Pearl into the bezel, creating this beautiful Pearl in hollow boulder pendant.
Included with the pendant is an 18″ Sterling Silver Twisted box chain
Pendant is 3.8 cm long by 1.9 cm wide. The weight is 5.5 grams.
