A matched set: a broad mokume gane teardrop pendant in a sterling gallery bezel, with a pair of mokume gane teardrop earrings on French-hook ear wires.
Mokume gane — "wood-grain metal" — is a Japanese technique. Sheets of copper and silver are fused into a single block, then forged, carved and rolled until the layers come to the surface as loops and islands. The soft grey rings across the warm brown ground are the silver showing through the copper. The pattern happens once and cannot be repeated.
The pendant is framed by a sterling gallery bezel — a lacy row of tiny arches running the whole edge. The copper carries the color; the silver gives it the frame. The earrings match it in the same copper-and-silver mokume gane. Reads warm against a dark shirt and sharp against a white one.
Made by Bob Boscarelli — paleontologist, silversmith, and lapidary, working from Soquel, California. One of a kind.
