Another piece in what we've been calling Larkin's terrarium series! This time they cut the cabochon freeform in the shape of a water droplet forming.
They included some of the rind of the "applegate jade" (bowenite) as well as the gemmy, translucent interior to echo the striations in a summer pond. This stone also includes a chatoyant seam across one corner.
Larkin framed the gleaming cattail with rough branches hand-hewn from sterling silver. The bail is a large, closed circle of silver, textured to match the branches. A beautiful, bucolic pond scene-- We even got a picture in the snow that's been going around!
