To date this pendant is one of my most imaginative Art Nouveau inspired pieces. Its origin comes from the fan shaped Rutilated Quartz piece cut by the Munsteiner family. The specialty cut included the reverse round cuts which create a bubble like appearance viewed from the front. On first view, I knew that my design should include a hand “holding the fan”, but the “story” had to provide the means by which the hand got there. It all came together with the creation of the carved warthog face of the woman Conjuror blowing bubbles of crystal and silver, one of which then creates the hand holding the fan with the bubbles. The Conjuror’s hair was created in braided 18K gold and silver. The piece hangs from a velvet cord with mountings of silver and gold
