But lots of questions - it looks like 4 Intarsia's joined together with a bezel. Very cool - give it to the wife, she deserves it, DAMHIKT Patty

That is a sweet pendant! Your wife will love it.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Such an unusual and beautiful pendant with contrasting elements!!

I really like the curves of the bezel and backplate and how they echo the four sugilite domes and their curved external sides, while the silver(?) "partitions" echo the straight internal sides of the four sugilite pieces.

Ironically, I've been slabbing sugelite for the last few days. This is one that came off recently.

The intense jelly moves around in the rough so each slab can differ.
