A friend gave me this tumbled piece of opal and i decided to turn it into a pendant using rings..
Since its tumbled its not symetrical so i had to play around alot with spacing cause it kept slipping around in its cage..
the gauges are 20 18 and 16 i dunno the size of the rings xause i use bead smith ring making pliers with 6 sizes
I made some pendants that represent the alchemical symbols of earth and copper.
The copper pendant has 4 beads at the ends representing the hermetic maxim:
As above
(symbolized with the clear quartz bead on top)
So below
(Symbolized with a faceted onyx bead at the botom)
As within,
So without
(Sybmolized with 2 blue moss agate bead)
Out of all the alchemical symbols these along with the alchemical symbols of water, earth, fire, and air are the ones that resonate with me the most.
Im open to suggestions for other pendants and critiques on these two.
