I can't believe these colors and patterns really exist in nature--unreal. This is a piece of fossil coral--unless you mistook it for a floral painting...

I've wrapped it in 22k gold on a backplate of argentium sterling silver. The fossil is surrounded by a lush progression of stones on 14k gold headpins--sapphires, tanzanite, mexican fire opal and spessartite garnet. The pendant suspends from a sterling silver chain that adjusts from 16 to 18 inches.

Crazy beautiful color.
