I designed this necklace before I left for Hawaii and finally whipped it up today whilst in the studio. It’s sizable and utterly one of a kind. Wheeeee!!!

The focal point of the pendant (there are three main sections to the pendant) is the actual shadow box that holds my cameo girl. She has her regular, funky beehive hairdoo but this time I’ve pinned those curls in place with a single buttercup.

From the base of the cameo dangles a bezel set cabochon of prehnite with suspended epidote needles. A scalloped base plate edge adds a bit of sass and further texturing on that base plate edge gives an extra pop to the satin finish of the setting.

Rising up from the shadowbox portion of the pendant are two branches I fabricated from scratch, forged, textured, carved and topped with small copper leaves. These are actually the bail points for the chain that wraps around to a sturdy lobster clasp and a extender chain that kicks the total chain length out to 19 inches (I think it wears best at 16 inches though).

The back of the shadowbox reads:

Climb a tree: Get closer to the heavens.

Have a lovely night my little quillynippers!
