Description
A jasper cabochon set in a smart 12kt gold-filled (rolled gold) wire pendant.
The cabochon is approximately 18mm high and 14mm wide and is patterned stone with a tan/pink background and green and darker markings. The whole pendant measures about 42mm tall and 17mm wide.
It’s a very handsome piece, with a twisted wire in the centre of the setting for accent.
The chain on which the pendant was photographed is not included.
The technique of wire-wrapping is not new – it dates back to the early Egyptians. Wire-wrapping uses no solder or glues, the wire ends being neatly hidden away wherever possible. Because it is handmade with few tools and no machines, it is a one-off. Although there may be similar pieces, it is virtually impossible for me to repeat a pattern exactly because of the very nature of wire-wrapping.
It is also, by definition, imperfect but that’s part of the beauty.
When looking at the photos, be sure to also refer to the description for the colour, because computer monitors differ so much and can do strange things to colours.
