Day two: Ametrine and Copper
So I was going to finish the Rachmaninoff piece, but instead I had the urge to make this.
It’s an ametrine; ametrine’s pretty rare, as far as gems go, because there’s only one mine in all the world (that’s been discovered) where you can get it. It’s actually made up of both amythest and citrine. Because they’re sort of marbled together, no two pieces are alike. It’s supposed to have certain metaphysical properties too, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I made it for a friend, along with customizing a little jewelry box, and I’m making a note for it later, too. But all of that’s a bit personal to share; you guys just get the pendant. I’m quite proud of it, as I’m new to this whole wire-wrapping thing; I usually just make chain.
