Dendritic Limestone Necklace

About the Piece

Dendrite patterning is one of my favorite displays of mother nature’s artwork in the form of a gemstone. As someone with a deep reverence for the natural world I find the little tree and fern like patterns to be so unique and interesting and feature them often in my work. While at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show I came across these Dendritic Limestone cabochons. I had never seen dendritic patterning in limestone before and found them quite interesting. Selecting their soft tan colors seemed like an obvious choice when designing a collection to commemorate autumn in New England. These Dendritic Limestones are set in a simple, elegant silver setting and embellished with small gold accents. The pendants hang from an oxidized, silver, rolo chain. Please select desired design.
