Sterling Silver and White Marble Dove Pendant or Brooch

This pendant was hand fabricated by the process of channel inlay, in which a framework is created of strips of silver which are soldered to a plate, thus creating a network of channels.  Using the framework as a template, stones are carefully cut to fit within the channels.  This pendant has a pin back as well as a hidden bale so that it can be worn as either a pendant or a brooch. It comes with a heavy 20" sterling chain. (Note: the last photo is a selfie and thus the image is reversed.)
