Here’s a new setting for the ‘Amor’ silver book pendant I made back in October of 2001. I’ve been wanting to make a large, chunky chain or other hanging support. Silver filigree like the bail would have been great, especially if I studded big links with carnelian beads or cabochons. So would a scarf-necklace in rust silk, with the ends anchored by more filigree caps and bead tassels.
But…I saw these multicolored red jasper-inspired glass beads at a local store, and fell in love with them. Just in case, I made the flanking elements removable so I can slide the pendant on other chains.
Now I can finally wear this book.
Profiled in more detail here.
Lovely work!
