This adorable necklace is hand-crafted from a mold of an Art Deco button that is pressed into fine silver clay, formed into shape, and torch-fired for several minutes. Once fired, it is polished and then oxidized to bring out the beautiful 3-dimensional details. The result is a stunning and versatile necklace that works as well with a t-shirt and jeans as it does with a special dress. Sterling silver chain and secure lobster clasp.
Metal clay is made from powdered precious metal combined with an organic clay-like binder and water. The clay acts as a binder for the silver and is burned away during firing. This leaves a piece that is 99.9% pure silver, in contrast to sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. It is hypoallergenic.
Pendant measures 5/8" in diameter and 18" long.
Sterling silver chain and secure lobster clasp.
