Sky Blessings
Handmade Pendant / Slide

Sky Blessings is an elegant pendant / slide that I handcrafted from a blue chalcedony cabochon, and .925 Sterling Silver wire. The blue chalcedony in this piece is enhanced by heat treatment to bring out and smooth the gorgeous blue. This keeps the stone from being prohibitively expensive and only available to the rich in addition to improving the color of the stone.

This pendant is approximately 2.2" (56.7 mm) long with a bail that will accommodate chains up to approximately 4.5 mm in size. To wear it as a necklace or brooch, you can use it with your favorite chain or add an inexpensive accessory to make it a very versatile piece of jewelry.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stone, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with body/mind/spirit balance.
