Silver Sunshine Pendant

Description

Fine silver sun pendant handcrafted out of Artclay Silver, comes with a free 18" black leather cord necklace, so it is ready to wear. Pendant was kiln-fired, tumbled, polished, oxidized , polished some more and sealed with micro-crystalline wax to protect the oxidized patina.

The silver is much shinier in "person", I took the photo not in direct light so as not to get a glare.

Pendant is 7/8 inch or 22 mm in diameter and about 1/16" thick (feels a bit like a coin)

Artclay or precious metal clay is powdered fine silver mixed with binders to form a clay. When fired, the binders burn off, leaving a silver piece that is 0.999 pure silver, more pure than sterling.

p.s. Although I am including a free leather necklace, there are several Etsy sellers here who offer sterling silver snake chains for very good prices ($10 - $15), which would go nicely with this pendant. Just search for sterling snake chain, and you will see.
