Artisan Jewelry : Pendants

 

Fine Silver (.999) Pendant is handcrafted from Precious Metal Clay and embellished with 24kt gold foil appliqué.

Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is made of microscopic particles of pure silver, water and an organic binder. Because of its clay consistency in its fresh stage you can manipulate and modeling as you want and creates beautiful pieces of jewelry. When PMC is fired in an electric kiln, the water evaporates and the binder burns away. The material shrinks and the silver particle fuses into solid pure metal.

Fine silver is light weight compared to sterling silver (.925). Sterling silver contains metal alloys which add weight to the piece.

Gold foil was applied to the fine silver pendant using an ancient technique called Keum-Boo. It is a simple process which thin sheets of pure 24k gold foil are applied to the surface as a decorative embellishment. The surfaces are heated to 750-850F and the gold sheet is burnished on to the silver, making a permanent bond.

The pendant is 1 ½ inches long, 1 ½ inches wide and weights 22.5 grams.

The pendant comes with an 18 inches sterling silver chain.

Both, the pendant and the sterling silver chain were oxidized.
