Artist's Comments

This is a reversible Argentium sterling silver pendant with a 50 carat top quality spectrolite cabochon. One side of this design shows the full beauty of the stone with a simple bezel setting. The second side of this pendant features a pierced and hand engraved floral design that allows the amazing color flash of the stone to show through in the background.
When we finished the pendant I thought the flower looked like it was sitting in front of an incredible sunset! :flame:

Mark made a bail for this pendant that hugs the bezel on the first side and when reversed it gives the appearance that the bail is perfectly floating above the pendant... a very cool effect:)

This spectrolite gem was cut by the talented lapidary Gail Clark

GORGEOUS. i agree with the sunset analogy. i love your your floral designs, linking living nature, and "dead" nature (flowers and rocks) :)

Oooh. Spectrolite is related to Labradorite, yes? They look similar to me, except for the color.

I love reversible stuff, and with your design work and ability to get great stones, this is stunning either way.

Thanks very much Don!
A reversible pendant seemed like a smart design idea for such a heavy stone. It's a great way to set a larger gem while adding some nice decorative metalwork:)
