Beautiful Rhodochrosite Cabochon
set in Argentium Sterling Silver

This beautiful, handmade, Rhodochrosite cabochon is in a riveted setting with wonderful texture throughout. This is a freeform stone that is hand cut by me and framed in beautiful Argentium Sterling Silver. This setting compliments this stone wonderfully. This pendant comes with a sterling silver chain and gift box. This piece measures approximately 2” from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant and is about 1¾” at its widest point. The cabochon weighs approximately 58.5 carats.

Argentium® Sterling Silver is a patented and trademarked alloy that is at least 92.5% pure silver, just like traditional sterling silver. What makes it different from traditional sterling silver is that a small amount of germanium replaces some of the copper that is usually the other 7.5% of sterling silver. Peter Johns, a professor of silversmithing at Middlesex University in England, invented Argentium® Sterling Silver in 1996.

Argentium® Sterling Silver is highly tarnish-resistant and does not firescale.
