YOJ09-51 Marquise Series: Pendant 5
Sterling silver, fine silver, Swarovski crystal
Constructed, cold-joined, nalbinding
L 6.5 cm x W 1.3 cm
This pendant is made of two “recycled” pieces from Bracelet 3, which didn’t match the other links. Initially I only added the Swarovskis as embellishment, but the pendant looked unbalanced. So I decided to add some viking knitting – nalbinding – and create a ribbon-like effect. The work involved in adding the nalbinding bumps this up from production piece to a “couture” One of a Kind or Limited Edition.
I’m not completely satisfied with how it turned out, but I’m also not able to define what is bothering me about it.  It might just be that it doesn’t work as a pendant. The design would certainly make a fabulous pair of earrings. Comments are welcome!
