Years ago my dad gave me some gold nuggets that he found while river mining for gold as a teenager. I kept them for over 10 years and finally decided to make something out of them. I decided to have two pendants made- one for myself and one for my sister. I sourced two Columbian emeralds (one asscher cut and one cushion cut) both just under 5 carats, presence of oiling but overall nice glow and medium toned green. I had my goldsmith make the chains and settings from the molten gold nuggets and mixed with hardening compounds to make 18k gold instead of the original 24k gold. The necklaces are 20” with a jumploop at 18” so we can wear them at multiple lengths.
