Description
I really love this one. I started with the curl at the top, and got rather upset when I couldn't figure out how to coax my preconcieved shape out of the stone. After much thought and fiddling though I persuaded it into what's now probably my favourite pendant to date. It's a bit pinker than shows on my screen, but this is a laptop so who knows
Sorry about the cliche'd bit of cloth, but it looked far better than without
If I can persuade myself to part with it, this will be among those for sale when I relaunch my site [currently going rather slowly] in a short while.

This is a lovely piece. So fluid and soft looking. I can empathize with your struggle of your pieces not always cooperating with you and letting you work them the way you want.

Cloth is a cliche'? I didn't know that.
I love the organic shapes you come up with - I don't usually care for pink, but this is lovely. It looks like it would feel good in your hand.

Wow. What a gorgeous shape! I love the softness of this, plus I'd imagine it's very durable. What kind of chain do you think you'd pair with it? I may buy one.

Thankyou! Alas they're not terribly durable - it's so soft that you can leave small scratches with a fingernail, though the oil from your skin makes them invisible. I don't have any chains, and I'm afraid that they'd just wear through the pendant. Perhaps fixing some kind of lining into the hole the chain runs through would solve the problem - I'll have a think about it. I currently sell them with black cotton cord or black suede, though I'm going to look into different ribbons and suchlike. I'm moving at the moment, but when I get my shop going again I'll announce it with great fanfare

Well if I had one I'd probably pair it with a satin ribbon. I imagine it would look nice and would be very gentle on the stone.

There's something so nice about the word 'satin'... I think it's probably because I've been wrestling with wire all day, the thought of ribbons is a great contrast
