designed for Pentti Sarpaneva

Here is a fabulous pendant by the renowned Finnish jeweller Pentti Sarpaneva (see profile).  Pentti was often inspired by bark formations and Karelian embroidery, but I am not sure which of these was the source for the design of this large cast bronze wheel, set with a plug of rough amethyst.  I have added an integral necklace of the type it would have been sold with.
