Cherry Tree in Winter

This Cherry Tree in Winter is a pendant is a type of jewellery you don't often see - an intarsia. This is the art of fitting together different pieces of stone to form a decorative piece. In this pendant, the outside frame is made out of black agate, the inner frame is white agate, and the inside picture is a single piece of paintbrush jasper. The image in the paintbrush jasper is a product of nature forming a gorgeous design.

The pendant has a double bail made out of sterling silver. It pierces the piece through the upper part to provide a bomb-proof support for hanging it.

Jasper is an older, traditional birthstone for March.
