This bucolic pond scene takes place over an “applegate jade” (bowenite) cabochon, modeled after the shape a drop of water forms when hanging from a large curved surface.
Larkin spent a lot of time studying water as it dripped from their fingertip as part of their lapidary shaping process! The stone is a deep green with grey and black inclusions, attracts a magnet, and is partially translucent when back-lit.
As usual, Larkin hand-sculpted all of the elements from silver wire and sheet metal, with a small copper ball at the center of the lily flower. The custom bail features a small lily pad and wandering vine.
This pendant measures 5.6 cm long (including the bail) and 4.0 cm at its widest point.
