Has anyone had any experience using mica in jewelry? I have a small
sheet of NC mica that I found, and would like to make a pendant of
some sort with it. However, it’s rather fragile, and I’m wondering
what the best wayto display it might be, while still maintaining the
integrity of the material. I’d rather not simply encase it in resin,
which is the only thoughtI’ve had thus far.
Just as an FYI, I had a beautiful mare named Mica who I reluctantly
let go to a friend because she wouldn’t come to my husband like the
rest of our horses. Mica, the mare, is easily the most elegant Barb
mare I’d ever seen, and I miss her horribly. I plan the pendant as a
tribute to her, and will suspend it from a braided necklace of her
tail hair.
Any thoughts on how to produce such a piece would be greatly
appreciated.
