PROMISE - Mountains pendant with carnelian and mixed metal (hand forged)

Description

Named "Promise", this pendant "began life" as a memory of late afternoons (and early mornings) hiking in the mountains with my mother. The sun, coming up (or going down), red with atmospheric dust, glowed red, but not burning. The air in the mountains was cool and we were free. Out of the city and spending time with just the two of us ☺ In my case, the mountains were in North Georgia, but it doesn't matter. The value was the memories and the TIME.

This is a one of a kind piece - any similar pieces will be just that: similar. This is the first piece of my "mountains" series, more of which will come later.

Technically, this is an arched sterling silver pendant (22g) with double layers of recycled copper for the mountains. Hammered out, textured with punches, to represent the folds of the earth and lightly oxidized, they glow red with the light of the carnelian sun. Around the rim is a "rope" border and the bail is also "rope" (twisted sterling wire).

A very sturdy and attractive pendant, this has 5 solder joins and 3 layers of metal. LOVE mixed metal, since it adds yet another "layer" (couldn't resist) to the complexity that is the world as expressed in art jewelry.

There is no greater gift you can give someone than TIME. As a shy only child with an over achiever mother I was in awe of, these were the best times of my life - and still are.

20" sterling silver box chain is included, as is a gift box. If you like, I can include a blank gift card with an image of the pendant on the front.
