Shimmering Ice Blue Topaz and Sterling Silver Chandelier
Jim Stradley is a renowned gemcutter who has a remarkable track record of crafting some of the world's most exquisite and rare gems. His creations have been exhibited at prestigious institutions like the Smithsonian Institute. With a perfectionist's approach to his craft, Jim has produced remarkable works, including a 2,165-carat flawless blue topaz, fine amethysts weighing upwards of 600 carats, and single emeralds worth over $100,000.
One of his most exceptional creations, the "Shimmering Ice" chandelier, is now available for purchase for the first time after years of being in private hands. The chandelier features an array of untreated, natural ice blue topaz weighing an impressive 5,712.69 carats TW. Many of the topaz pieces used in the chandelier were collected by Jim himself in the Tarryall Mountains of Colorado, while others were sourced from exotic locales worldwide, including Brazil, Madagascar, and Mozambique. The chandelier comprises over 550 separate briolettes, with the largest weighing over 185 carats, that together form a unique work of art.
In addition to its stunning appearance, the "Shimmering Ice" chandelier also serves a practical purpose, housing eight candles and a variety of other sparkling lights that illuminate and enhance each gem's beauty. This chandelier is truly one of a kind and represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Jim Stradley's exquisite craftsmanship.
