Purple and Turquoise Dichroic Pendant with Mountain Back


A purple and turquoise dichroic glass pendant in a sterling silver prong setting. The back has a picture of the mountains cut out of the silver.

I call this style of glass work "patches", and the setting a "picture back" setting. The predominate colors in this piece are purple and turquoise, however as you move the piece you see flashes of many colors and hues.
I cut the setting out of a single piece of sheet silver, and then shaped the prongs to fit the glass. This kind of setting has to be individually hand made for the glass piece. If you have a stone, or glass piece you would like me to make a setting for, contact me and we'll see what we can work out.
