Dendrite Opal & Sterling Silver Tree of Life Pendant

Overall pendant size: 51 x 28 mm
Bail opening size: 4mm
Dendrite opal cabochon wieght: 38 ct

Includes a free 2mm black paracord necklace cord that is adjustable via 2 slip knots.
The opal cabochon is damaged. While I was setting the opal, a piece broke off the top. I repaired the stone and the crack is only visible on the back of the pendant. I am offering this pendant at a reduced price of $80 +shipping (normal price $100) because of the damage. I'm pretty confident that the repair will not break or come apart.

This unique, one of a kind ammonite fossil pendant was wire wrapped with pure antiqued copper wire. Ammonites are one of the most widely known fossil, possessing a ribbed spiral-form shell. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs.



Copper Wire Wrapped Ammonite Pendant

This handmade wire wrap pendant was wrapped with pure copper wire that flows beautifully around an ammonite fossil. The copper was then antiqued to give a rustic look.
You will receive the exact, unique, one of a kind, handmade, wire wrapped ammonite pendant shown in the photos.

Over 6 hours of craftsmanship went into the creation of this wire wrapped ammonite necklace pendant.

So the ammonite pendant can be worn right away; I've included a free adjustable slip knot 2mm wide black braided paracord. The cord is UV coated and resistant to mildew and rot.

About Ammonite

Ammonites were predatory, squid like creatures that lived inside coil-shaped shells between 240 - 65 million years ago and went extinct with the dinosaurs. Ammonite shells are a naturally occurring example of the Fibonacci sequence in nature. The ammonite in this wire wrapped pendant is from Madagascar.

Moonstone Necklace With Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Tree of Life


Taking photographs of moonstone can be very difficult. To get the moonstone to glow requires low indirect lighting. But when you get the moonstone to flash under low lighting, the wire wrapped tree of life doesn't stand out well. So you have to position your lighting until you find a happy medium. Usually the moonstone cabochon or the wire wrapping may suffer slightly in the photograph. This one came out pretty well. I can tell ya though, if you see it in real life, it looks way better. The above handmade wire wrapped tree of life pendant with moonstone was taken with slightly more direct light. Hence why you see the white reflection of the lighting. This photography of the wire pendant is what I used to showcase the necklace. Photographing jewelry can be very hard. Especially when you have a flashy moonstone or a flashy labradorite!



In the above photograph I move the lights so they where more indirect. Doing this made the patina in the wrapped wire stand out more. It also makes the moonstone have a more crystal appearance.



Changing the background you use to photograph jewelry also has an affect on the shiny sterling silver. I'm still using indirect lighting in the photograph of the pendant. With this dark red stained wood as a background, I'm able to capture the dark shadows in the wire wrapped tree of life. 


I always try to include a photograph of my jewelry with a white background. When I do this, a lot of times it makes the sterling silver look a little yellow.

Crazy Lace Agate is a variety of banded Chalcedony and is predominantly white, with layers of creamy browns, blacks and grays. Some may include layers of yellow ochre, gold, scarlet and red. Agate is sometimes called the earth rainbow because, in its various forms, the concentric bands in nature form nearly every color the earth can produce, including a colorless form.
