My lovely client from Paris, Helena, emailed me because the rhodochrosite and silver pendant I made for her mother a while back had gone missing, so she wondered if I could build her another one.

Hunting around for another piece of rhodochrosite that would be as beautiful as the first was fun. After I provided Helena with a few options, she and her dad settled on this gorgeous teardrop shaped cabochon for the new rhodochrosite and silver pendant.

Rhodochrosite is such a beautiful gemstone. You can read more about it here. I love the way the cross section of this stone looks as though it was cut from a stalagtite. I was so glad to be able to make this lovely piece for a lovely person!
