Unbelievably beautiful and highly unusual this is handmade in the USA. This is another of Robert’s artwork pendants, I love this deep green, gray and white piece of stone. He obtained a number of these stones from a man who was a geologist, I have personally never seen such beautiful stones. This pendant is finished with a sophisticated sterling flap (reminiscent of a woman’s handbag) a wrap around the stone and a curly scroll. Very Nice !!  YOU WILL NOT SEE THESE TYPES OF PENDANTS ANYWHERE ELSE !!!

$ 115.00 (does not include shipping).

Made in the USA. These are sterling silver pendants made by teacher and artist Robert Jiorle, of Phillipsburg, New Jersey.  He starts with a slab of stone from which  he selects a portion  with the correct color, contrast, shapes & characteristics he wishes to use, he then proceeds by cutting the stone and polishing it.  He then designs the custom setting which will complete his composition and frame the finished artwork piece.
