Description
This polished gold and brown oval tiger’s eye is framed to perfection by a flowing 14kt gold-filled wire-sculpted setting.
The cabochon is approximately 16mm high and 12mm wide and the finished pendant measures about 40mm high and 23mm wide.
The cabochon is a lustrous dark brown with very reflective gold bands running vertically along the face of the cabochon… colours complimented by the gold-filled wire setting (also known as rolled gold).
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.
