Red Adventurine Necklace on Copper
$75.00
This stone was top, center drilled, so I turned it upside down and riveted through the hole, then securing the top with two flame balled copper prongs. The backplate is heavily textured and after soldering on an extended wire loop bail, I soldered on curved and textured cross pieces for a unique look. The 21 inch chain has stretched oval medium links with a copper lobster clasp.
Red Adventuring is noted for energy, warmth and grounding.

After retiring from teaching, then owning an Inn and Gift Shop, I learned how to make jewelry, the metal smithing kind. I fell for the soldering, riveting, forming, cutting and finishing stones, you name it, I am still learning new skills. There is something about the transforming of sheet and wire metal into a lovely, unique backdrop for a special stone. Like, who doesn't like rocks, pretty ones?
My local Lapidary Club has a clubhouse where I can use specialized tools to finish stones. We also have a great Gem and Mineral Show with vendors all over the world, even Australia! You will see some of his Boulder Opals I love so much.
Life is good!
