I made this pendant by wrapping this freeform-cut antelope jasper stone in 12/20 (12kt) goldfill wire. The antelope jasper has a beautiful rippling pattern on it in very muted reds. The stone measures 51mm by 18mm. This is one of my larger pendants, measuring 2 5/8 inches (6.7cm) in overall length.

About goldfill: Goldfill is a wonderful inexpensive alternative to solid gold. Goldfill is not the same as gold plated. A gold plated metal has a very thin layer of gold that was electroplated onto a base metal. Goldfill, however, is made by heat fusing a layer of gold onto a layer of base metal (usually brass). Unlike gold plated metal, the gold on goldfill is unlikely to wear off, because it is 100-1000 times thicker. The goldfill wire I used in making this pendant is 12/20. That means that 12kt gold makes up 1/20 of the volume of the metal.

Please note that the pendant does not come with a chain. If you are interested in purchasing a goldfill chain to go with this pendant, please contact me for availability.
