The bottom pendant that I made is silver, copper & gold set with an Orissa garnet from India. It is a little over an inch in diameter and will sell for $185 with a silver chain. If you have any interest or questions about any of the jewels we have posted to sell, send us an email and we can work out details.

A good place to start would be with the online jewelers resource called Ganoksin or Orchid. Go to my blog's links page and click on that.
