A fun, summery streak of handmade pendants! Each cabochon featured here was made by a local cabber and then set by me. The amazonite and lapis were made specifically at my request - normally I design around an already made cabochon, but I could get maybe get used to designing and then having the cabs made....

I think the beryllium opal cabochon looks like a lovely sunset with the purples, pinks, and oranges in perfect layers across its surface. The kambaba jasper reminds my husband of Starry Night by Van Gogh - I can see that a bit too. I had several cabs made from the amazonite rough - it was too lovely to pass up! This one is in a more art deco/geometrical design, while the lapis is set in a more whimsical setting with a rainbow of color play in the texture from a patina.

Lots of summer fun! More on the way, including a couple pins. I have some really lovely stones that I look forward to designing around!
