Description This pendant features a stunning chrysocolla that I just picked up at at a gem show. Chrysocolla is related to turquoise and azurite and malachite and all those stones that get their coloring from copper. I used a single square wire of gold, which you can see peeking out around the stone setting. I also tried a different bail technique with this piece, and it turned out nicely for the stone shape.

The pendant is actually pretty large - almost two inches tall - but some people like larger pendants.

Thanks! I don't know if it will work with other shapes, but it's nice to know it can work.
