Sterling Silver Smoky Quartz Pendant Bespoke

Could a large loose smoky quartz be made into a pendant?

The customer brought this stone, which was quite large, but the cut and color were very beautiful.

The stone is clasped using a method called “bezel setting,” in which silver ingots are wrapped around a slightly taller stone to give it a simpler appearance than claw clasps.

Bezel setting is often used in our custom orders, but because of the simplicity of the design, the skill of the craftsman is very important.

For stones with a large face, the back of the stone can be seen through when viewed from the front, so the simpler the back of the stone, the cleaner it will look when worn.

If the stone is quite large and the metal part is too heavy, it will be difficult to wear as a pendant, and it will look unattractive.

On the other hand, if the stone is not supported firmly, it may fall off.

The design should not be gaudy, but should be suitable for everyday wear, and the weight and structure should be well balanced.

It may sound simple, but the best part of custom-made jewelry is that it is possible to fulfill the wishes of the user as much as possible.
