Faceted Imperial Jasper Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant features an earthy red faceted imperial jasper set in hand-forged sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. The stone is framed in a scalloped bezel and encircled by a fine twisted rope border, creating a layered, intentional composition. Formed at the bench, this piece reflects the structure and presence of heirloom quality silver.

Form & Proportion

The pendant carries a balanced, slightly elongated form, measuring just under 1.25 inches in length. The faceted surface of the jasper introduces subtle light variation, while the surrounding rope detail adds a refined edge. A larger bail allows the piece to pair easily with a range of chains, maintaining proportion and versatility.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, the pendant is shaped and refined through controlled tool work within the studio. The scalloped bezel is formed to follow the contours of the stone, while the twisted rope border introduces a defined perimeter. An oxidized finish enhances contrast, bringing forward the depth of both the stone and the metalwork. This is hand-forged sterling silver jewelry built for durability and long-term wear.
