Maybe it's tacky to give away a flawed item but I love this piece and would like to find it a good home. I was going to keep it for myself but I have so much jewellery and rarely get an opportunity to wear it. I like long necklaces and they tend to droop in the ice cream when you're scooping.
For anyone who is reading my blog for the first time, I tapped one of the prongs on the piece once too often and a corner of the quartz broke along a fault line. No part is missing and I used E6000 glue so it should stand up to anything unless you shower or swim with it on. In which case you should be ashamed of yourself.
So...hopefully this will serve two purposes. I want to promote my blog and I want to adopt out my pretty solar quartz. Nobody would ever know it was glued unless you told them or for some reason they were taking a magnifying glass to your person. The seam shows up in the enlarged picture but when you go back down to 40 mm, the diameter of the cabochon, it's not noticeable unless you're looking for it.
Leave a comment, an extra ballot each for FB and twitter, and I'll draw on the 28th, a week from Saturday. Make sure you put an extra comment in to tell me about the Facebook and Twitter mentions. And I'll be very embarrassed if I don't get any entries.
Hi Sue! I think your work is fantastic and I hope that someday I can make things that are half as nice as yours :)

You've been doing some awesome prong wire work! It does seem like the best technique to show off a gorgeous gemstone, even if slightly flawed!
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is absolutely gorgeous! Who cares if it is cracked. I would be happy to wear it.
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteI would be more than happy to give this an excellent home! Sorry it took me so long to jump into the fray, but I was out of town for a few days. This is a stunning pendant and your prong setting is beautiful, too.
