"Granelli" Pendant with Synthetic Ruby

This pendant, handcrafted and cast in silver with the "Lost Wax" technique, features a Synthetic Ruby (not glass, but a real ruby, a corundum, grown in a laboratory). The organic shapes, inspired by my vision of nature, seem to grow around the stone. In the intersections of the bezel, small silver granules evoke the Etruscan granulation technique, blending harmoniously with the natural style of the pendant.
