Snakeskin jasper pendant – 925 silver

A little world in ochre and brown

The Snakeskin jasper pendant brings ochre-yellow and tan markings into close contrast with a dark brown ground. Its upright oval outline has rounded edges and a convex front, where dense, irregular patches mingle with narrow lines and small rings. Bright white reflections catch on the smooth, glossy surface, adding flashes of light among the warm colours.

Follow a winding line and the pattern might become an imagined coastline: curved inlets, looping paths and ochre islands surrounded by brown. Look again, and a ring-shaped marking draws the eye somewhere new. There is plenty to explore within this rounded shape, right up to the small silver-coloured hanging loop, where another white reflection shines above the patterned face.
