The striking one-of-a-kind Geothermal Pendant by jewelry artist Bette Barnett is handcrafted from etched steel, its surface textured with a layered etched pattern finished in a rich, black patina. A dramatic sweep of 24 karat gold, bonded to the surface of the unique pendant using the Keum Boo technique, brings a luminous contrast to the darkened steel. Nestled in pierced negative space, a rutilated quartz reveals delicate golden threads, echoing the metal's pattern. Measuring 1.25” in width and 2.25” in height, the contemporary pendant is presented on a 20” long, 1.5 mm blackened stainless steel cable chain.
