Steven Douglas bought a handful of rough Oregon Holly Blue Agate some 20 years ago from a rockhound that had access to the site at the time. He commissioned Bend, Oregon gem carver, Ken Rose, to create this singular gem with its sensual form. After 20 years and a handful of sketches Steven arrived at the design that would become this one-of-a-kind pendant. Hand built from 14 karat gold stock, most of which Steven alloyed and milled himself, this pendant is designed to compliment but not detract from the beauty of this carved gem.

Built in his unique style that blends a contemporary aesthetic with traditional two-tier galleried construction, this is truly a one of a kind piece. Never to be duplicated every detail was carefully thought out. The design of this piece allows the chain to be hidden behind the “sun.” While the size, color and placement of the Oregon Sunstone that compliments and balances the piece. White, yellow and rose gold are used dependent on various aesthetic and mechanical considerations important to both the durability and beauty of this Oregon Holly Blue pendant.
