Up for sale is an authentic, rare studio piece by acclaimed NYC fine jewelry designer Caroline Ellen. Celebrated for her rich high-karat gold alloys and tactile hand-finishing, this pendant is crafted in solid 22K yellow gold and features a beautifully faceted rock crystal quartz insert carved with a star motif. The bezel edge is hand-engraved with her signature hallmark: 22K C. ELLEN. The rock crystal features exquisite custom lapidary work—hand-carved with a dimensional star motif that interacts mesmerizingly with the light. Because the crystal is completely clear and set in open 22K gold, the geometric facets throw soft, radiant light from every angle, showcasing the incredible precision of both the gem-cutter and the goldsmith.
