stone pendant necklace

"Crafting jewelry is a tradition in my family. My father has practiced this art for many years and I grew up seeing the beauty of jewelry," remarks artisan Babun Dey of Jaipur, India, also known as the Pink City. He designs a jasper stone and sterling silver pendant necklace which hangs from a rolo chain. The pendant's bubble and swirling line design is crafted in dark and light silver tones, and at its center is a bezel containing a cabochon jasper in a dark pink tone. A lobster claw clasp provides a secure closure for the necklace.

Petite beads of reconstituted turquoise and Karen hill tribe silver flank a faceted pendant of three dyed jasper stones for an elegant accessory that captures the beauty of natural waters. Sareeyakarn designs this necklace, stringing the beads on a length of braided cord. It closes with a silver clasp.

Wrapped in rows of sterling silver rolo chain and set within a polished bezel, this pear-shaped jasper cabochon pendant necklace is the creation of India's Rakesh Rana. K2 jasper, also known as K2 granite, is actually granite with round deposits of azurite. The unusual stone is found only in remote mountain areas in Pakistan.

Blue jasper and quartz stones merge with glass and crystal beads to create a oneiric illusion in Domingo Reanda's newest design. Crafted in Guatemala, this adjustable necklace features a round pendant made of stainless steel wires, whose sinuous formations form a tree as a symbol of prosperity and fantasy. The piece is also accented with a comfortable leather cord and a polished finish.

The heavenly and magical realms unite in this precious design by India's Harshita Sharma, made as a celestial homage to feminine beauty. Crafted from advanced silversmithing techniques, this sterling silver necklace gracefully embraces a faceted one-carat kyanite stone and a jasper jewel, both creating a bewitching accessory.
