This beautiful Owyhee Jasper (from southwestern Oregon) looks like a wetland scene, in that perfect golden time of late afternoon when everything looks magical. I used the wetlands theme in my design, surrounding the stone with copper grasses and a cattail. I added a heron standing behind the stone, hoping to find an evening snack in the shallow waters.
The setting is sterling silver. The leaves are copper; the cattail is bronze with silver dust sprinkled and melted at the top. The bail is hand cut and riveted. This pendant is sold without a chain - the chain shown in the photos is for display only.
Lapidary work is by Keith Dull of Summit Cabochons.
