Old Growth

The beads on this pendant remind me of an ancient tree with many rings, and treasures found in hardened old sap turned to amber. Each ring has a story to tell, and the stories dangle from the sturdy sterling silver hanger weaving a plot. Glass and lampwork in ivory, khaki and amber. Lampwork by Shawn Warden of Great River Company. Sterling silver wires in differing weights. The 5-1/2" pendant hangs from 19" silver nylon rattail cord with a silver plated barrel clasp.
