Turquoise Pendant – Argentium Silver Lunar Panel
Description
This Lunar Panel Pendant is one of our largest designs. It joins natural Turquoise with a wide panel of Lunar-textured Argentium silver. I heat the silver until it softens, then move it with a jeweller’s pick to create the look of the Moon’s surface. When the metal cools, I shape and polish it to bring out depth and light.
Design & Feel
The pendant feels bold yet calm. The Turquoise sits just under the Lunar texture, as if rising through light. Because of its large size, it pairs beautifully with a Collar or Omega chain. The weight is balanced, so it rests flat and feels comfortable to wear.
Argentium Heat & Finish
Each pendant is heat-treated to activate the germanium oxide layer in the Argentium silver. This process makes the metal stronger and more resistant to tarnish. After heating, I polish the raised edges and leave the deeper areas soft and shadowed. The contrast gives the piece a quiet glow.
About the Stone
The Turquoise cabochon is natural and freeform cut. Its blue-green tones and soft matrix lines make each stone unique. I hand-fit the bezel for a clean edge and solder it securely to the Lunar panel. As a result, the gem looks both protected and bright.
