DULCIMER NECKLACE

Description

If you love the dulcimer, (the official musical instrument of Kentucky) let others know!

This listing is for the pendant on a hand sawed piece of sheet silver (22 gauge thickness) that is about 3/4 inch wide and app. 1.5 inches long. Since these are all created by hand and individually, they vary slightly.

This small cloisonne style dulcimer has been attached to a hand forged sterling silver backing. The edges of the silver have been beveled with my planishing hammer.

I make several versions of the dulcimer necklace - either with a plain leather necklace as shown - or a more decorative version with beads and silver tubing. Some versions are made with a repurposed sterling silver spoon (and some are with a silver plated spoon) instead of the sawed silver. Some are stamped with the dulcimers favorite two words - "dum diddy" and some are stamped with the name of a favorite dulcimer group. All these shown are approximately the size of a teaspoon. The price varies with the type silver used and the amount of labor involved. Contact me if you are interested in any of the other styles in the pictures and I will quote prices for you.

These are also available for purchase with the dulcimer pendant only and you can supply the necklace. The last picture shows some different instruments that can go on a silver necklace. Other musical instruments are available, so let me know if you need something special.

If you are a US purchaser, your necklace will arrive in my custom gift box with a velour presentation bag and a swatch of anti-tarnish cloth to help you keep it shiny. International shipments will eliminate the box to help save on shipping costs.

**I accept both Paypal and RME (Revolution Money Exchange) payments. If you wish to use RME, check "other" as your preferred form of payment and I will send you an invoice and request for payment from RME.

***All my items are shipped USPS with delivery confirmation for customers in the US. Insurance is available at an additional cost - usually app. $1.65 to $2.00. Neither delivery confirmation or insurance is available for international shipments.
