Red Garnet forged silver pendant by Meg Black-Smith
This pendant morphed from an idea Meg had a while ago. She wanted to make a more three dimensional piece and do some fancy twisting. After a couple of attempts, this is what happened. Each pendant is one of a kind; the garnet in this pendant came from India and Meg purchased it at the Tucson Gem Show. The silver starts out round and with hammers and other jewelry tools it changes into this pendant. This lovely red Garnet is a 10mm by 14mm oval. The pendant measures 1 3/8" long by 3/4" wide. The pendant includes an 18-inch snake chain.
Shipping, insurance, and tracking included in price.
