Rutile Quartz Cabochon Granulated Fine Silver Pendant
This large Rutile Quartz cabochon is bezel-set in a Classical Fine Silver granulation design . I love making these pieces. They are so meditative to make. This great Rutile Quartz pendant has a lot of color and movement in the shimmery inclusions of rutile cutting through the quartz!
Granulation is a controlled fusing process that has been utilized for thousands of years. I melt 999.99% Fine Silver to create granules and wire. The granules are then individually placed and fused with a mouth torch to the oval setting. The Rutile Quartz cabochon was selected from my gem stash for its shimmery stabs of rutile color through the heart of the juicy quartz! I cut a seat for the stone after the granulation is completed and I use a hammer and punch on the bezel setting to capture the cabochon. Hung with a cast granulated bail and can be worn on any chain. You may purchase the pendant alone or with a sterling silver cable chain in 16”, 18”, or 20”.
