Ellensburg Blue Pendant - Sterling



The stone is about 20 carats of very high quality Ellensburg Blue.  It is a faceted emerald shape.

Setting to hold the stone and still show the facets.  I don't much like prong settings.

Clean and simple design.  I like this shape, slightly wider at the bottom than the top.


Window on the back.
This picture shows the color of the stone accurately.

Ahhh....





 The picture below shows two pendants at the point right before setting the stones.  There is a certain amount of pressure and violence in moving the metal to hold the stones.  The tape is to minimize any scuffs or dents in the rest of the piece.


Also, don't forget to goof off.  ;)
