Shown here with a 6mm Swiss Blue Topaz. The pendant measures 23mm x 14mm (7/8" x 9/16").

I gave a draping loop of argentium silver a soft twist, added a tapered bezel at its base, and separated the head into halves to cup the stone from either side in the open setting. I crafted these simple lines carefully, and reflected the simplicity of the piece in the way the stone is set. It all comes together gracefully in a pendant of a pleasing scale.

BLUE TOPAZ: The beautiful blue of this stone is created by enhancing white topaz through the use of heat and irradiation. There are several shades of blue topaz , including Sky, Swiss and London. It is one of December’s birthstones along with Zircon and Tanzanite. Blue topaz rivals aquamarine in color and charm. Found in greater abundance, it offers superb clarity and luminous color at a fraction of the cost.

ARGENTIUM SILVER is a special alloy, verified as the most tarnish resistant made, but an occasional simple wipe with a soft cloth, and tucking the piece into the provided, protective pouch will further enhance its natural aversion to tarnish. Eco-friendly recycled silver.
