Captured Sterling Silver pendant

Description

This piece took many tries to make before I was happy with the outcome and design of the pendant. I made many paper mock ups to try and get it right, as it all had to sit properly.

Its a sterling silver pendant made entirely of sheet metal, the ball is made from 2 sterling silver circles that were domed and then soldered together to create a ball.

The ball was then placed in the opening of the large disc so that it appears that its held there by tension.

Pendant has been sandblasted to get this amazing sparkly effect but muted at the same time. The ball has been semi polished for contrast and the edges have been polished as well.

The pendant hangs on a sterling silver chain as it appears to float as the bails are totally hidden behind the pendant.

Pendant measures 38mm (3.8cm)
