This article features the manufacturing steps for a one-of-a-kind free-form pendant designed and created by Barney Jette . The center stone is a one-of-a-kind chrysoprase carving by Steve Walters, Ramona , CA and is highlighted by a cultured pearl.
This chrysoprase carving was done by Steve Walters of Ramona, CA. Barney Jette designed a pendant and will create the model using the build-up wax technique. He will cast the model in 18-karat yellow gold. His overall design goal is not to compete with the beauty of the carving, but to enhance it with a subtle framework which echoes its form while protectively cradling the delicate outline.
