This pendant is hand-crafted from a mold of an actual sprig of wildflowers that is pressed into fine silver clay, formed into shape, and fired in a kiln at 1650 degrees. Uneven edges give the piece a rustic and organic feeling. Once fired, it is polished and then oxidized to bring out the beautiful 3-dimensional plant details. I've added 3 vintage iridescent glass beads to the sterling silver chain. The result is a stunning and versatile pendant that works as well with a t-shirt and jeans as it does with a special dress.
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 pendant 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 1 1/4" long and 1" wide. It hangs on an oxidized sterling silver chain with lobster clasp. Total length of pendant is about 19" long. In stock now. Chain can also be shortened upon purchase.
