With Pendants and necklaces the Jewellery is worn next to the heart, the gold work, an intricate frame, a sit for the stones. In some pendants, the stones were ‘studio – cut’, at times shaped in an uneven amorphous form, challenging creativity and workmanship in finding ways to set them beautifully.

A pendant with a carved Australian Coober Pedy Opal in an elaborate engraved frame. Made in 19k Orange Rose gold and set with small natural Light-Pink and Yellow diamonds. Dimensions: 41 X 16.5 mm. *Work on this Pendant started way back in 2015, and lay unfinished for a few years due to technical challenges, only to be completed in 2019. A fact which is apparent in the design style, dating back to the way I was working at that period.
