Mysterious, richly detailed, and unmistakably one of a kind, the Alchemist’s Medallion Pendant by Lydia Muell has the presence of an ancient talisman transformed into wearable art.
At the center is a handcrafted 1.5-inch lampwork glass bead with an abstract design on a misted teal base, accented by raised opalescent lenses in opal pink, white, and aqua. The layered glass surface gives the bead remarkable depth and dimension, with shifting flashes of color that seem to change as the light moves across it.
Lydia hand net-bezels the focal bead in sterling silver wire, using her signature fine coiling, wrapping, weaving, and layered construction to create an intricate sculptural setting around the glass. Bezel-wrapped teal and white AB Swarovski crystals add luminous sparkle and iridescent color while echoing the tones within the focal bead.
Every element is carefully finished by hand, from the detailed sterling silver wirework surrounding the bead to the substantial wrapped bail above it. The combination of handmade lampwork glass, sterling silver, and Swarovski crystal accents gives the pendant both visual richness and extraordinary craftsmanship.
Measuring approximately 2.25 inches long by 1.5 inches wide, the Alchemist’s Medallion Pendant is a striking wearable work of art with a mysterious, elemental quality that suits its name perfectly.
