- About The Silver Concho Pendant Featuring Red Coral
This magnificent concho pendant has four interchangeable bales, in four different sizes.
The central oval is 1/2" X 1/4" within a "diamond" formed by 20 coral round, each 1/8" or 3 mm. Stamped drops of smelted silver further embellish this focal point surrounded by a frame of stampwork bordered by an oval of 32 coral rounds 3/16" in diameter or about 5 mm each.
Kenny Bracken fabricated the suite using a base of heavy gauge mill-rolled silver sheet, decorated using hand cut steel stamps and a chisel. The oval concho has a saw-cut scalloped edge, deeply and perfectly repoussed, dome as well as 53 dark red bezel-set cabochons.
