About this Product
I created this artistic statement pendant using a large, gorgeous carved labradorite cabochon that glimmers in shades of gold, amber, green, and a touch of blue. I wove a setting for it in copper, using a variety of weaving and coiling techniques. I handmade the chain using small lengths of copper wire which I hammered for additional strength. Labradorite is said to enhance intuition and balance energy. It is supposed to be good for people who have a habit of overworking (perhaps why it is one of my favorites).
The pendant itself is about 2 1/2 inches (about 6 cm) long. The chain adjusts up to a maximum of 22 inches (56 cm).
The pendant has a non-tarnish coating to protect the finish. If you avoid getting it wet, the coating will last longer. If it wears off over time, you can use the polishing cloth I included in the box. If something happens to your pendant, please feel free to contact me via GoImagine or by sending an email to cobaltdragonflyart@gmail.com. If you return the item to me (at your cost) I will do my best to repair and return it to you at no additional cost to you.

Meet the Maker
I got in trouble for doodling mandalas at school, even though I didn’t know the word “mandala” at the time. I love to create art and jewelry, sometimes drawing on spiritual traditions such as the paganism of my ancestors in Lithuania.
I’ve never met a craft I didn’t like, but wire weaving jewelry is my favorite. I am fascinated by different stones, their colors, patterns, their shimmer or flash, and their symbolism. When I start working with a stone, I visualize and sketch the style of setting that feels right. Then I have fun figuring out how to connect all the elements. The actual process of weaving is both meditative and deeply satisfying.
It is always my hope that after a piece comes together, the wearer will feel some of the joy I felt in the creative process.
