Jasper Cross Necklace with handmade chain
Jasper Cross Necklace with handmade chain
Red Creek Jasper Cross set into hand fabricated recycled Sterling silver. Hand fabricated Sterling chain with unique forged bail and clasp. I love that Jasper looks like landscapes or abstract paintings sometimes and I find these cut crosses at gem shows but only have one left this size. Traditional, old-school techniques means this type of fabrication takes more energy from me and less from burning fuels or electricity. Hand forged, fabricated and polished. All recycled Sterling silver.
Chain is 22 inches long, but can be worn shorter as well.
Jasper is formed by the earth from fossilized algae. Over time, silicon oxide (jasper) replaces the decomposed organic matter, forming the lines and colors. In ancient Egypt, red jasper was associated with the blood of Isis.
