Copper leaves slowly drift from the branches of this bronze tree. A rose cut moonstone shines from between those branches, lighting up a quiet autumn night. I gave the sterling silver background a shimmery sanded finish, adding to the silent mystery of the night. Each leaf is stamped, cut out with a jeweler's saw, filed and sanded. They are then curved to give each its own personality, then antiqued and polished to bring out the patterns. The bail is hand cut and riveted, and has two copper leaves soldered to it.
SIZE: This pendant measures about 1 3/4 inches long from top of bail to bottom of pendant and just over 1 3/8 inches wide. This pendant is sold without a chain.
MATERIALS: Sterling silver, Fine silver bezel, bronze, copper, moonstone
PROPERTIES OF STONES (information compiled from various sources): Moonstone is said to bring peace and harmony and to help alleviate emotional tension.
