Ciondolo "Fuoco Trattenuto" — opale etiope cabochon in argento germogli set in an organic “Roots”

set in an organic “Roots” style setting: like thin roots that rise and close around the stone without suffocating it

smoothed by the sand and the waves :)

ho realizzato il calco esatto di alcune di queste ghiande e l'ho riprodotto in argento massiccio

fatta a mano da me in Italia

the prongs had to be ramifications rather than part of a setting

Ciondolo "Fuoco Trattenuto" — opale etiope cabochon in argento germogli set in an organic “Roots”organic shaped pendant, lost wax casting in 925 silver, handcrafted, with Ethiopian Opal cabochon. The setting that holds the stone is closed at the back, to protect it from contact with the skin that could ruin the stone, the prongs resemble silver roots that have grown around the gem.
