The stone is set in a sterling silver bezel with decorative rope or twisted wire edging, a common technique in silversmithing. The pendant likely dates to the late 20th or early 21st century. Spider jasper jewelry appeals to collectors of natural gemstone accessories and those interested in metaphysical properties of stones. The unique patterns in each stone make every piece one-of-a-kind, while the sterling silver setting adds value and durability. Such pendants are particularly valued by those who appreciate earthy, organic jewelry with natural elements and southwestern or tribal-inspired designs.
