Hand crafted gemstone pendants...
All pendants are created by starting with rough material. Slabs are cut from this rough and shaped on diamond wheels. After shaping I use progressively finer grit diamond wheels to create the final polished pendants. The pendants are all hand made by myself. Charles Van Meter
NOTE: Items marked sold may still be available if I still have some of the material, call and we probably can make a similar pendant for you......
All pendents come with a FREE medium weight 18" silver plated chain. To see the free chain go to the bottom of the neck wire page. Height measurements include bails. All large bails measure .4 " and are heavy plated silver. Options of anti-tarnish silver alloy chain or several attractive neck wires are available. For details click here.
