Lapis Lazuli Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Sunray Pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant features an elongated oval lapis lazuli set in hand-forged sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. The stone is secured in a serrated bezel, while the backplate is hand-stamped with a radiating sunray pattern that extends around the full perimeter. Formed at the bench, this piece reflects disciplined metalwork and a strong, intentional design.

Form & Proportion

The pendant measures just over one inch, offering a balanced scale that carries presence without excess weight. The elongated shape creates a clean vertical line, while the surrounding sunray texture adds dimension and visual movement. The overall form is structured and composed, allowing the stone and surface work to work in harmony.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, this pendant is shaped, stamped, and refined entirely within the studio. The sunray pattern is individually hand-stamped, creating depth and variation across the surface. The serrated bezel provides both structure and subtle edge detail, holding the stone securely while reinforcing the overall composition. This is hand-forged sterling silver jewelry built for durability and long-term wear.
