Swiss topaz in hollow boulder pendant.
A very beautiful, 2 carat, brilliant cut Swiss blue Topaz.
Argentium silver shaped in a hollow boulder design. 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 balance and shape the design and fuse again. I clean it all up then I solder on the top bail.
This round Swiss blue topaz is set in 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 Swiss Topaz. Then I attach the wall to the base, and solder again. More cleaning and polishing and the bezel is ready to solder to the Boulder pendant design. Then I can set the gemstone into the bezel, creating this beautiful Swiss blue topaz in a hollow boulder pendant.
Pendant is 3.9 cm long by 2.1 cm wide. The weight is 5.5 grams.
