Baby Kambaba 2 - NOW GERI'S

Baby Kambaba 1 is in the US and I forgot to take a photo before it left! But here is its cousin, Baby Kambaba 2. Kambaba Jasper comes from Africa and this stone has quite lovely markings in shades of green, brown and black.

I decided to build on the leaf shape of this piece and added handworked tendrils and exotic "grapes" of silver beads, Swarovski pearls and Swarovski crystals. Two filigree metal leaves carry on the leafy theme.

This pendant comes with a 16" neckwire with an extension chain in rhodium.

From top to bottom, the stone measures a little over 1 1/2 inches (4.5cm); from the top loop to the bottom tip of the leaf below, the pendant measure a little over 3 inches (7.5cm).

* Metaphysical Properties of Jasper: Jasper is said to drive away negativity and give the user courage to be true to oneself in thought, word and deed. Kambaba Jasper in particular is supposed to help soothe nerves, clear one's mind and be good for the dietary system.
