Artist's Comments

~*FULL VIEW PLEASE~*:)

This is a hand fabricated Argentium silver & pink tourmaline pendant:) Our design was directly inspired by the pink blossoms of the beautiful Laelia orchid found in the Gulf of Mexico.
The veining detail in this design is made up of a single layer of intricate piercing that covers the surface of the orchid. The piercing work in the design is complimented by hand engraved accents on the base of the pendant. Mark custom cut a deep pink tourmaline cabochon to represent the bright pink center of the Laelia orchid known as the "labellum".

Pendant Dimensions~ 2 1/4" by 2" with a 4 carat teardrop pink tourmaline cabochon

Art is not held captive by the edges of the canvas,
Art is only limited by our imagination, so if you will it,

Thanks for the great compliment! Mark cut an amazing tourmaline cab for this design and I think it adds something special to the pendant:)
