Sunstone center warms the cool blue skies as the sun rises

Chunky pendant made from Kingman turquoise. Relief carved in a radial pattern to mimic the sun, deep grooves wrap around the edges to the back side.  At the center is an artisan faceted Oregon Sunstone with copper schiller, cut by Craig Olivera (IG @flipflopminer).  Set with silver hardware, all handmade for a tight fit without the use of adhesives.

Used my past knowledge of plug making to do a one off type design in a similar fashion to past projects
