Popsicle 2+1 chain and Afghanistan Lapis pendant

Fresh from the Studio...Popsicle 2+1 chain and Afghanistan Lapis pendant. I made this 22 inch 2+1 Popsicle stick chain from scratch. I refined the silver, it's about .950, I poured the silver into blanks, I cut the blanks into strips and then I drew the half round wire. If you have never done it, you just don't know... what goes into a chain like this. It's called a 2+1 because you have 2 oblong links to 1 round link. The pendant is Grade A Afghanistan Lapis set in heavy 20 gauge .925 Sterling Silver. Shaped as an inverted tear drop it is 2 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch at the widest point. The chain and the pendant are signed with the RLMyers Lightening Bolt Hallmark.
