HarpSinger's Antonía Pendants are hand-crafted, heirloom quality, artist-made dichroic glass or natural gemstone cabochons hand wire-sculpted by Rolliana Scheckler. Until 2007, she purchased cabochons for her jewelry from leading glass artists or gemstone dealers. Over the last three years, Rolliana has been learning how to fuse glass and has been using some of her own cabs for her jewelry designs.
To make a pendant, Rolliana takes a cabochon and wire-sculpts it with about five to six feet of 14/20 rolled gold [aka "14 karat gold filled"] or anti-tarnish .925 sterling silver wire, gauged "21" or "22". Bails are large enough to accommodate most necklaces, chains or cords. Note: "wire-sculpting" is much more involved, requires more skill, uses more material and is more time-consuming to do than standard "wire-wrapping".

Antonía pendants are of heirloom quality. They should last in perfect condition for several generations. Owners are encouraged to pass them on.
Antonía pendants are one of a kind. No two can ever be made exactly alike. Once they are gone, they are gone. Buy one or several of these extraordinary, distinctive pieces and you will never see yourself or your gift recipient wearing jewelry like everyone else's.
Care of your Antonía Pendant is easy. Simply wash your pendant from time to time with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. You can use a liquid detergent, such as Dawn, diluted greatly. Dry pendant gently and well. If it is very dirty, quickly dip it into dilute ammonia water, rinse with clear water and pat dry with soft cloth. You can use an ionic cleaning machine, if you prefer. However, please do not use an ultrasonic cleaning machine because it could cause separation of the fused glass layers. While your pendant should not deliberately be dashed against stone, under normal use, being properly annealed for strength and durability, it can be worn without worry and should last several lifetimes.

Why the name "Antonía Pendants"? It comes from Rolliana's family history. Rolliana's great grandfather was Dr. Anton Weiskopf, a pioneer doctor trained in Berlin who, upon immigrating to the USA in the 1800's, served Kenosha and Columbus, WI, in horse and buggy. His several children included Rolliana's great aunt Antonía and grandmother Alma. Alma's children included Antoinette Alma, fondly known as Aunt Mickey, and Rolliana's mother, Mariana. Rolliana was given the middle name Antoinette. The name "Antonía" seems a great choice for Rolliana's line of handcrafted jewelry. It starts with "A"so as to appear at the beginning of lists and, in Latin, the name means 'priceless, flourishing, flower'.
