Poseidon - Under the Sea - Lapis Lazuli, pearl and silver necklace
Lapis Lazuli, pearl and silver necklace
I have set this stunning teardrop shaped piece of Lapis Lazuli in a bezel created from swirls of sterling silver wire, at the top of the pendant sits two sterling silver dolphins with their babies, positioned so that they appear to be leaping out of the sea. I have embellished the wire work with sterling silver beads of graduating sizes and pearls. The pendant hangs from the necklace by a bail that is wrapped with thin sterling silver wire and embellished with a sterling silver bead and loops of wire.
The necklace is made using round sterling silver beads of graduating sizes, round Lapis Lazuli beads with oval pearls, colors reminiscent of the deep blue sea. The necklace is finished with handmade sterling silver wire cones, wrapped links and a trigger clasp.
The pendant measures 2 1/42 tall including the bail and is 1 1/32 at it's widest point. The necklace is 18 1/2' long.
