Our resident family gemologist is starting to cut, shape and polish natural gemstones; this Pyrite pendant is one of his creations. I just love the unique shape and doming affect set against the two tone non-tarnish wire of brass and black; large swirls highlight the bail. It is hung from beautifully faceted flat rondelle Onyx gemstones, mixed in a few gold Swarovski crystals and added a vermeil textured toggle and matching earrings. When I made the bail, I did it a little larger than expected -- so this pendant comes off the necklace -- wear it with or without the pendant -- 2-1 set!
