This idea had been floating around in my head for a while and when a friend wanted something custom for his fiance I knew it was the perfect chance to try it out. It is a hollow formed faux locket design with an amethyst gemstone tube set recessed into the form. The chain has hand wrapped amethyst gems to bring it all together. This design was tricky to set the stone having very little room to work with. I purchased a set of tools just for this job. The tool is designed to help close the tube setting around the stone and it worked perfectly! It was a tricky design for me but I am very happy with how it turned out. I hope its recipient loves it as much as I do!
Happy New Years! I am excited to see what 2012 will bring.
