Mata Ortiz pottery shard and silver pendant with drusy and snake

$165 USDMata Ortiz pottery shard and silver pendant with drusy and snake

Jewelry:Pendants
Agustin Beltran, the creator of this beautiful pendant, certainly knows how to match stones and pottery shards. The drusy glitters with green and gold and just a hint of rust red. The pottery shard features delicate green and red designs, with a light beige background. The two very different materials look absolutely gorgeous together. Tying the two together is a nicely cast sterling silver snake, lazily soaking in the brilliance of the stone. The setting is .950 sterling silver, hand designed ...

This beautiful pendant combines two very interesting pieces: a pottery shard with almost whimsical lines (was it part of a bird?) and a polished piece of fossil, or agatized, coral. Agatized coral is rock that is formed when ancient coral is gradually replaced by agate. When polished like this one, the fossilized coral appears as small "flowers" in the stone.
