Contemporary Lapis Lazuli Pendant By Keith Farley |
||
| As with most of the pendants I make, I designed the lapis lazuli pendant seen on this page to be suspended from a strong chain, an Omega chain, or possibly a forged neckpiece. Although these pendants are seen with diamonds, I'm certainly able to use other stones when making these or similar pendants. The 14K gold pendant contains a tongue shaped lapis lazuli with a wonderfully deep blue color. Directly above it is a bezel set cabochon tourmaline. Channel set on an entirely separate element are tsavorites that completely encircle the bail, the portion through which the chain extends. The upper element is separate for a reason. On either side of the lower body of the pendant extends a diamond. This serves as a pivot for the upper portion and give it a most satisfying kinetic quality. |
