Rough Rainbow Moonstone Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Beaded Pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant features an oval rough rainbow moonstone set in hand-forged sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. Positioned in an east-west orientation, the moonstone retains its natural texture while revealing flashes of color as it catches the light. Asymmetrical sterling silver bead accents and flowing swirl details frame the stone, creating a composition that is both organic and sculptural. Formed at the bench through disciplined tool work, this pendant reflects the enduring beauty of heirloom quality silver.

Form & Proportion

Measuring approximately 1.25 inches in length, the pendant has a balanced yet asymmetrical design that naturally draws the eye to the rough moonstone. The east-west setting emphasizes the stone's broad profile, while the solid sterling silver beads and flowing swirls add movement and depth without overwhelming the composition.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, the pendant is shaped and refined entirely within the studio. The rough rainbow moonstone is securely set while preserving its natural surface, allowing its character to remain intact. Every bead, swirl, and structural element is formed at the bench through traditional silversmithing techniques, resulting in hand-forged sterling silver jewelry built for durability and long-term wear.
