Redtail Necklace -- Blue Boy Variscite

I ride my horses to the Post Office in town from time to time and while riding up one day I saw a red-tailed hawk flying with a snake in her fist.  Some kind of omen.  or just a hawk flying with her meal in her talons.  Either way, when I reached home I hopped in my studio and made a few sterling silver hawks -- sawed, overlaid with deep texture, carved and shaped until the details pop.  

This hawk is paired with a really cool cut of Blue Boy Variscite (mined in the Great Basin) and my sagebrush sprigs.  This is such a lovely narrative piece that speaks of wild open spaces and the steppe country I call home. 

All sterling silver.  My love is in the details.

Length:  About 19 inches in length with my s-clasp.
Pendant drop:  About 4 inches.

Please note: The images that show me wearing this necklace are photos of the same necklace featuring a different cut of variscite!  The length and dimensions of the necklace in this listing are exactly the same...just a different gem.
