Van Gogh
Pendant / Slide

Van Gogh is a stunning pendant / slide that I handcrafted from Texas Red Brecciated Jasper / Agate, and .925 Sterling Silver. The eye-catching and gorgeous "picture" in the stone says it all about why I named this piece "Van Gogh". It's truly a stunning stone.

The pendant is approximately 3.5" (90.9 mm) long with a bail to accommodate chains up to 8mm in size.

In alignment with the properties of the stone, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with protection and relief from fears.

Chuck says: This is a very beautiful pendant. The swirling reds, oranges, blues, and black create a minature universe as it is first being born. Robyn's gentle swirls bring a delightful touch of elegance.
