"Titanium Drusy Largesse" Wire-Wrapped Stone Pendant

Artisan Jewelry : Pendants

 

Gold-filled wire was used to wrap this magnificent Titanium Drusy. Cobalt Blue with purple/gold/lavender sparkles - this stone is one of the most beautiful that I have ever found!

The stone itself is about 3 1/4" tall by 1" at the widest point. The pendant, including the wire wrapping, measures about 4 3/8" x 1". I have included an 18" gold-filled chain.

This pendant has to be seen to be believed... it is a one-of-a-kind sparkler!

The term Drusy is used in the jewelry industry to mean a gem that is covered by a large number of minute crystals (crystallized minerals). Whether the crystals appear on the surface of the mineral or are recessed into a crevice the result is the same, a stunning gemstone.

Titanium Drusy is created using a high tech process on a natural piece of Drusy. That process is called "vapor deposition". Inside a vacuum chamber the metal titanium is vaporized, then mixed with oxygen and it then descends onto the Drusy crystals and bonds with the crystals' surface at a molecular level. It produces a metallic coating in spectacular shades of bright and deep blues, lush purples, and brilliant greens.
