Recently I was contacted to create a pendant. The woman loved my jewelry designs and had a stone that she wanted me to work with. I was happy to work with her and the stone and we met to discuss the project. After a fun story about her property, pond, and minnows, we worked on a design to feature my textured reticulation, as well as a minnow. I drew up 4 designs and this is the one that she selected:
Reticulated silver rectangle 1 5/8 inches wide with a sterling wire squiggle and balls and a gem cut quartz bezeled in fine silver. We wanted the minnow to have a hammered pattern and wiggle.
And here's the finished pendant!
I love the way the reticulated metal evokes the feeling of undulating water and the balls creating bubbles from the fish. Loretta loved it and so do I!
