Sterling Silver Lapis Lazuli Pendant — Teardrop with Reticulated Silver, Handmade by a Paleontologist, One of a Kind

A drop of deep blue on a field of hand-textured silver.

A rich lapis lazuli cabochon is bezel-set at the base of this sterling silver teardrop, with a trio of small silver accent drops rising above it. The body is reticulated — heat-textured by hand so the surface ripples and catches light around the stone. Finished front and back.

Handmade by Bob Boscarelli — paleontologist and silversmith & lapidary working from Soquel, California. He studied jewelry at Cabrillo College under Dawn Nakanishi, whose rule stuck with him: make the back as nice as the front. Part of his Cyberzoic studio collection; arrives with a small card telling its story.
