This one of a kind necklace features a one carat Raw brown diamond, offset to one side. It is set in prongs that start at various spots, working their way boldly toward the stone, and integrating perfectly with the folded, melted silver surface.

Accented with a 0.12ct round faceted diamond, repurposed from older meltdown jewelry, and set into sterling silver. The handformed pendant is pierced at seemingly odd angles, but balances perfectly on the dapped chain. Every ring that the chain is constructed of is soldered shut, and the back fastens with a tiny sterling toggle.

The back of the necklace is artist signed.

This is a One of a Kind item.

Although there may be pieces made somewhat like this in the future, there will never be the exact one, ever again. If you love this unique piece of wearable art, snatch it up while you can!

This item is part of the Following Collections

The Melted Collection

Our Melted pieces are exactly as they sound: while working the wax model, we melt and manipulate the design into flowing, swirling, molten lines. Every single Melted piece is one of a kind, and custom work is welcome, as long as you are prepared for a design adventure, as we cannot ever completely predict what will turn out!

These pieces are often finished with a combination sandblasted/polished texture, but if you prefer a full sandblasting one any item, just let us know in the comments section of the purchase.

The Raw Collection

Raw gemstones- rough bits of mineral and color and fire pulled from the Earth and set directly into the metals they once shared ground with. Raw power, raw design... raw, unbridled nature- captured in art.

These are stones that have had no cutting, drilling, shaping or polishing whatsoever. They have internal inclusions naked to the world, crystal structures perfectly visible in some, while cleavage lines and shatter marks show up in others. This line is our second most popular, and quite often surprising people by how much they begin to love it.

This design line is in stark contrast to the CAD/CAM jewelry so often found in design schools and shopping malls. Nearly every piece is one of a kind, and custom work is a double blind adventure, as we cannot predict how the lines and curves of metal will follow the natural shards and angles of a stone.

Raw stones cannot be guaranteed, as they are often jagged and will wear over time. This, however, is one of the benefits of the line- a gemstones that will age while you do, slowly revealing the fire inside.

As often as we can, we buy the stones direct from the source- small mine owners in Kenya and Nigeria, Brazil and Oregon. We visit trade shows only once a year usually, so supplies are limited at best. Once a parcel of river sapphires sells out, that is often it until next winter, when we can meet up with the dealers again. This also makes it difficult to specially procure a size, color, or gem that may not be in our collection.
