Kaleidoscope Jasper and Sterling Silver Pendant

This kaleidoscope jasper and silver pendant has a nice story behind it. My lovely client Colleen contacted me after she found the cabochon in my gemstones available for custom pieces. She and her husband were keen to get a pendant made as a keepsake for their daughter, who was celebrating her 40th birthday.

After browsing my custom gallery, Colleen did me a rough sketch of how she wanted the pendant to look. This is the result! I got the piece to Colleen’s daughter just before she embarked on some international travel, and she loves it. I hope it sees some fabulous sights with her!

Jasper is a variety of chalcedony. The name jasper comes from Greek and means “spotted stone”. Kaleidoscope jasper comes from a small family run mine in Oregon, USA. The family states they named the stone ‘kaleidoscope’ because it means ‘collage of colours’. That sums it up in my opinion!

Jasper is believed to encourage personal bravery and help people gain independence. It is thought to help cure gynecological problems and to strengthen the stomach. Some believe it can help bring rain, and it has been used as a protection against evil spirits and snake and spider bites.
