The pretty blossom-pink of this Rhodonite cabochon had to be topped with leaves - lots of them! While most of the stone is pink, there are pale and dark brown accents, evoking shadows and branches behind the flowers. The main setting is sterling silver. I chose a scalloped fine silver bezel, adding to the floral feeling. The leaves are fine silver, stamped and slightly curved. I added a couple of leaves to the bail as well, which is hand cut and riveted. Little flowers are cut out behind the stone. If you want to feel like spring, whether you are in the middle of it or in the dark of winter, this is the pendant to wear!
