Though I designed roughly 75 pieces of Art Nouveau and Art Deco inspired jewelry that would later become part of the basis behind the Neo-Elegance art theory, this necklace pendant was the only one I actually made.  Motivated by the upcoming birthday of my Muse, the true inspiration behind all of my jewelry designs, I spent a solid week shaping the stones for this piece. I started with a chunk of rough polished blue lace agate that was carved to shape and then wrapped it with a vertical sterling silver band that encases a hand-shaped hematite teardrop in front.
