NDN Silver Showpieces: Snowflake Obsidian


Every now and then a piece comes together just perfectly, to create something that is much greater than the sum of its parts in nearly indescribable ways.  This is one.  It's a very heavy-gauge sterling silver cuff bracelet with incredible precision hand-stamping in Eye of Spirit and squash blossom patterns.  Additional powerful symbols chase both edges of the band and the inner band.  Across the top:  three large oval cabochons of snowflake obsidian, each set into a scalloped sterling silver bezel.  The obsidian cabs are flanked by a round deep-red garnet cab on either side, each in a sawtoothed bezel.  $725 + $20 s/h/i.

Below, a coordinating solitaire ring:


Matched, overlapping lodge symbols chase the length of the sterling silver band.  At the top, an oval snowflake obsidian cabochon rests in a scalloped sterling silver bezel. 

And from the top, with a good view of the stone:


$325 + $10 s/h/i.


So new, they're not even on the Web site yet.
