Careful measurement is the first step; next is the hammering necessary to add texture to the front. After sawing all the pieces out of sterling silver, I solder the box together. Once the lovely pear-shaped Carnelian is selected, the bezel to seat it is created out of fine silver bezel wire. After the bezel is soldered in place, it?s time to add fun embellishments like a ring of sterling balls, called granulation, which are created by heating small pieces of silver to the melting point; the pieces curl up into perfect balls. I drill openings to allow the pendant to hang from chain; and then clean and polish the piece, carefully filing the sides to create the finished seamlessness. After setting the teardrop Carnelian stone, a bit of patina emphasizes the hammered texture.
