Green Labradorite Secret Snake Pendant

This simple green labradorite pendant is hiding a secret, there is a snake coiled across the back of the bezel.

The bezel and the snake were individually created for this specific stone. I carved the bezel and sculpted the snake in jeweler's wax, and cast them in sterling silver. I then cleaned and polished the pendant, and set the stone. Next I oxidized it, and I brushed the oxidization off of the high points to bring out the details of the pendant.

Details:

The pendant measures 1 1/2" long and 7/8" wide and the stone is a gray green with darker vertical streaks and yellow and teal fire.It looks like a winter forest with the northern lights flickering in the background

The snake's tail forms the bail which attaches the pendant to an 18" long delicate yet sturdy cable chain. The chain and clasp are all sterling silver as well.
