The entire clasped necklace measures 18 inches long; the pendant is 3 inches long by 2 3/8 inches wide.

This interesting studio piece is composed of a geometric lattice-like design set with a dyed blue chalcedony in a secure bezel mounting.

The bracelet has a 6 ½-inch internal circumference, which includes a 1 1/4–inch opening; it is ¼ inch wide. Weight: 21 grams

A graceful pendant made from a teardrop-shaped plaque, oxidized and decorated with applied abstract forms. A thick strand of silver is applied at one side and terminates in a loop at the top, forming a bale. The back of the plaque is marked sterling. The pendant exhibits some scratching, primarily on the back; the front oxidation shows some wear but still retains its dramatic contrast with the applied decoration...
