Controlled Chaos Pendant #6. 925 Sterling Silver, Garnet, Amethyst, Hematite and Mixed Metal

The God of Chaos and the God of Fire teamed up to bring you this pendant, courtesy of my enchanted handiwork. As I begin, I never know exactly where I will end. I start by cutting out a piece of brass to act as the base. Then I choose random pieces of silver which I lay on top of the base, taking care to make a pleasing arrangement. I hit the entire arrangement with fire, partially melting the pieces as they fuse onto the underlying metal. If I am lucky, I reach perfection on the first torching. But more often, I must continue adding silver until the Gods are satisfied. Next, I tare at the piece for a while to determine which way is up before adding a bale. Once this is done, the pendant speaks to me to tell me whether or not it wants stones added. In the case of this particular pendant, it called for an amethyst, a hermatite and a garnet.

Included is a silver-plated snake chain, my gift to you.

• Hematite is the ultimate masculine stone. It gives you verility, strength, resiliency, security and courage.

• Garnet is the love stone. It aids in the attraction of both lovers and friends and business associates. It helps to heal a broken heart, aiding in the treatment of melancholy and depression.

• Amethyst brings tranquility, relieving stress and anxiety, bringing peace and serenity into your life. It protects you from those who would wish to bring you harm.
