Christopher Taylor Timberlake Fine Art Jewelry

This pendant is the first in a series exploring the circle. It was made by both casting and hand fabricating silver and gold. I mined and cut the opal, which has its origins in Spencer, Idaho. The Bertrandite (opalized fluorite) originated in the western deserts of Utah and was also cut by me.

Hand-fabricated silver that was diamond-cut and velvet textured then set with an altered rectangle cut iron tiger-eye cabochon (cut by me with rough from Australia) and a gold bezel set blue topaz cabochon.

This southwest-style pendant was originally made for someone from U.S. Intel. I cut each stone individually and then jeweler's epoxied them in place before grinding the surface flush. Stones origins range from Afghanistan to Australia and from Africa to the good ol' U.S. of A.

This pendant was made to match the circle earrings. Fabricated from mokume gane sheet metal that I dapped half-round and backed with silver sheet. A granulated 10kt gold bail was added later.
