Pendant necklace by Agness Seebass incorporating ancient and contemporary. The two green beads are ancient Mayan jade, probably used originally on a necklace some 1000 years ago. They blend perfectly with the modern hard edges of the square pendant. The pendant is 1 1/4" square.
This handsome, sterling and sodalite cuff bracelet can be worn equally well by a man or woman. Graduated size oval stones are framed by triangular bands of silver. Hammer marks on the inside are evidence that it is totally hand fabricated. It measures 1 1/4" wide; inside diameter is 2 1/2" with an opening 1 1/16". The size can be modified a bit, either larger or smaller.
Convex, oval beads are known by Agnes Seebass as her coffee bean design. The are done in the soft, hammered finish often seen in her work. Seebass is a German jeweler currently working in Mexico. Each bead measures 3/4" x 1/2. The necklace is 16 1/2" long.
