An Abstract Piece

This is an abstract piece that I have just finished. I was very much inspired by the beautifuly crafted cabochon that Cathy, the talented designer behind Pink Glass Palace (http://pinkglasspalace.etsy.com/), made. She added interesting red lines criss-crossing through a sea of shimmery green. I did the silver setting by trying to emulate these lines and had them protruding from the sides of the bezel. It took a lot of trials and errors before I was able to get those details to appear just as I had envisioned them when I was sketching out the piece. I finished the necklace off with a beaded cord, alternating different shades of red to bring out the colors in the cabochon.
