Handcut Silver and Moonstone Necklace
The is a lovely large piece of grey moonstone , I have handcut all the little silver dangly bits and it is on a double strand of silver chain. Its quite a heavy necklace but it feels and looks great on. I do like to work with irregular shaped stones and have some ‘rough’ pieces of moonstone in my stone box, I am not sure what to make yet but they are rather wonderfull! Check out more on my website.
