Sodalite and Alabaster Necklace | BowmanOriginals

Embracing the Challenge!
This project was a true test of skill and creativity. It began with crafting the sterling silver center frame, followed by designing a precise template to fit the center stone. We carefully sliced a slab of vibrant blue sodalite from a large rock and paired it with a translucent salmon-colored slab of alabaster. Intricate scroll patterns were then carved into the alabaster, adding a unique touch.

Next, we meticulously cut and inlaid sodalite into the sides of the frame, enhancing the design. To complete the piece, we created three lengths of our signature sterling silver Sundial Chain, each secured with a plate soldered to the end. These plates were screwed to the centerpiece using custom-made sterling silver screws. For durability and elegance, the bayonet-style clasp features a white gold tongue, ensuring lasting strength.
