Azure Xtabay Barbados

Playing catch up here with a vengeance... While still not very talkative I did want to point out a few of the finer qualities of this pendant. For starters its one of the smallest pendants I've created in quite a while measuring in at 1 1/8” x ½”... The large center stone is rough Aquamarine, with a dark green rough Emerald  on top... I so love the gemstones in the rough, you can really get a feeling from the stone...Then I surrounded the rough Aquamarine with 2mm faceted sapphires...  I actually set stones as small as 2mm FINALLY :) YEAH  been working on it for quite some time now... using nothing but wire to do it with :) Poor torch wants to know why I bought it if I'm never going to use it... LOL
OK hope yall enjoy this piece I know I had a great time in creating it :)
Oh and before I forget, the color scheme reminds me of the water that surrounds Barbados.

I,m trying to add a picture of the piece so you can see its real size hope this works...

thanks sweetie :) its what keeps me sane at the moment... so now you understand why I'm searching for some really small wire :)

I'm so jealous, and secretly trying to figure out how you set stones that small. I have these teeny tiny beautiful faceted loose gemstones that a friend gave me, and I can't even fathom setting something that small. You've blown me away with your work here.

Robbie, I'm so happy to see your new pieces here - this one is made in a style I adore really much. I can see you have plenty of ideas and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your gorgeous pieces :D

Holy cow, my eyes would be screaming. I too love those rough stones, there's just something about them that speaks to you. All four pieces are lovely, Robbie.

these have taken me years to figure out :) LOL I tried to add a new picture to show you how it looks in its natural size, you can barely see the stones then :(
