I have a secret hope. And no, I won't tell what it is! :)

What is your secret hope? Or, instead, do you have a secret wish, dream, goal, or joy? Is doesn't even have to be a secret! :)

I love these clamshell-type necklaces! On the top is a convex "shell" in the texture of your choice (see below for choices), and inside is the word or words *of your choice*.

I hand-stamp each word onto a sterling silver disc, oxidize it to make the word black, polish the entire piece, and then use specialized tools to make each piece concave. I also hand-stamp each sterling silver top using different techniques and specialized texture tools, then I oxidize, polish, and make it convex.

Each clamshell is then drilled and hung on an 18" sterling silver chain.

When ordering, please list your choices in the "Notes to Seller" section:

1--Your choice of top-shell texture. Photos above show Hammered + Stars (1st photo, top) and Oxidized Crescents (1st photo, bottom). The second photo shows, clockwise starting from top left: Hammered, Brushed Matte, Oxidized Stripes, and Oxidized Squares.
2--Your word/name choice for the inside shell. I can fit 6-7 letters, or more letters if I use a smaller set of stamps.
3--Your choice of ball chain (shown in the top photo on the bottom) or link chain (shown in the rest of the examples).

Please note that the pearl shown in the first photo is an example only... the clamshell doesn't actually close if a pearl is inside. I can, however, add a pearl or Swarovski crystal dangle outside the pendant. Convo me for details. :)

Thanks so much for looking and for considering buying handmade and supporting artisans!
