Turquoise intaglio skeleton necklace - a skeleton necklace, a whole skeleton hand-carved as an intaglio into an oval green turquoise cabochon, in a hand-finished silver bezel Turquoise intaglio skeleton necklace on dark drilled wood, the skeleton's skull, ribs and limbs cut deep into turquoise flecked with rust-orange Turquoise intaglio skeleton necklace hanging front-on against black, the figure reading as a dance with its arms out and its legs kicked up Turquoise intaglio skeleton necklace laid out full length on black, the bolt-ring clasp at the top and the oval pendant at the foot of the chain Turquoise intaglio skeleton necklace at an angle on black, the bezel's depth along the lower edge and the carving catching the light across the stone Turquoise intaglio skeleton necklace angled the other way, the chain running to the upper right and the rust-flecked green of the turquoise across the oval Turquoise intaglio skeleton necklace beside the frog turquoise intaglio necklace on black, the larger oval skeleton to the right and the round frog to the left Turquoise intaglio skeleton necklace hanging last in a row of five necklaces, beside the palm turquoise intaglio on its lapis strand

The ultimate test of unaided vision (I swear one day, I'll get a microscope) and hand control (there are some hallmarks of a tough battle to win when a wayward burr skittered off-course), but I'm calling it a win all the same.

The loveliest green-blue turquoise cabochon, into which I merrily carved a skeleton intaglio. Set in sterling silver.
