Chinese Serpentine Designer Cabochon Pendant

Description

Handcrafted and donated by Angie of http://AngiesJewelryDesign.etsy.com.

I found this beautiful stone in a market in China. It wasn't finished or polished in any way, so I wasn't sure what I had until I got home. Once I started working on it each stage of grinding and polishing revealed new details and I knew I had a real find. The gorgeous stone is translucent lime green shot through with bands of white. Photos just don't capture its brilliance.

The pendant measures 1.5" x 1.25" has a bail about 6 mm wide, so it can be worn on a neck ring or chain. It is wrapped with Argentium Sterling Silver, which resists tarnish.
