This sculptural pomegranate is a 3-dimensional hollow half-dome form. It is hand constructed -- raised, soldered and surface finished -- in sterling silver and oxidized; then beaded with faceted ruby, amethyst, carnelian and garnet beads.
This one of a kind pendant measures approximately 22 mm wide (diameter of sphere) X 15 mm deep.
The chain is about 22 inches long and is made of oxidized sterling silver, with a hand made hook-and-eye clasp. I do think, however, that a "good" chain length is very individual -- feel free to let me know your preferred chain length.
The pendant can also be used with a neck wire; please let me know your preference.
Made to order. This listing is for a pendant very similar to the pendant in the pictures.
In the last picture, see the pendant made with a blue and yellow color palette.
I make the pomegranate pendants in a variety of sizes and with gemstone beads in many beautiful color families, including garnet, amethyst, carnelian, sapphire, turquoise, tanzanite, pearl, onyx and tourmaline.
I also make pomegranate earrings with either posts, clip backs or ear wires.
A note about the oxidized (blackened) surface finish:
Oxidized patinas change over time, with wear in the high areas that touch the skin or clothing. I am often told by my customers that this gradual process makes the piece even more beautiful and personal. However, I do apply a thin, protective coat of oil or wax to the metal, in order to help preserve the oxidation and to deepen the color.
I am happy to make this pendant in a larger or smaller version, and with a shorter or longer chain.
Feel free to contact me if you have a special materials wish! Pricing varies according to materials and the size of the piece.
