Fall leaf pendant, handmade fine silver and enamel with peridot, tsavorite garnet and Ethiopian opalThis is a fine silver Butterfly Bush leaf, that I created then enameled with fall colors. from lush green, to yellow and burnt orange, this leaf is stunning. I topped the leaf with a cluster of gemstones, that includes peridot, Ethiopian opal, tsavorite garnet and chrome diopside. The carved peridot leaf rests in front. Strung on a sterling silver diamond cut bead chain in 18 inches. The pendant measures 74 mm x 23 mm, or just under 3 inches long.

Dripping from the bottom is an equally sparkly Ethiopian opal bead and a cluster of red and orange sapphire roundels on ball end headpins
