Because our goldsmith has hidden the bail behind the Rutilated Quartz cabochon, it does not interfere with the appearance of the pendant. When hung from a necklace, the pendant appears to be floating in mid-air. The bail is also oversized to assure that this jewel hangs gracefully from both diminutive and wider necklaces. Of course, this pendant can be recreated in a variety of precious metals and gemstones. For example you might consider 14kt, 18kt or 22kt gold in a variety of colors - yellow, rose, white or even green.
Platinum is also a possibility.
You may even want to combine platinum with one or more of the various colors of gold for a truly unique look. For the top stone, we like Rutilated Quartz, however, you may prefer the greater contrast of Black Onyx, Lapis Lazuli or Hematite. Either cabochon or facetted gemstones can be chosen. However, you may prefer a bullet-shaped drop fashioned from Rutilated Quartz, Tourmilated Quartz, Garnet, Rose Quartz, Chrysocolla, Amethyst, Carnelian or Tourmaline. The possibilities are limitless.
