oak leaf - fine silver pendant
Description
the oak was a sacred and important tree to the celts and to druids; in fact, pliny the elder believed the word "druid" to be analogous with the greek word "drus", meaning "an oak". the oak has long been a symbol of knowledge and wisdom.this lovely piece in .999 fine silver was gently crafted to be worn at the nape of the neck. the leaf's edges curl delicately upwards.
a small, fallen oak leaf from my back yard was used to create this fine silver oak leaf pendant, almost 2 1/2 inches from top to bottom and 2 inches from side to side at its widest points. the leaf was carefully painted with many coats of PMC (precious metal clay) slip, then torch fired. in this process, the original leaf burns away leaving an exact impression and likeness of the leaf in pure (.999) fine silver. the fine silver leaf was then gently filed, tumbled, antiqued with liver of sulphur and finally hand polished using seven different grades of polishing cloths to impart a high shine while still preserving the antiquing oxidization in the low spots to showcase the leaf's detail.
this is truly a one of a kind piece as i made no copy of the original leaf.
this pendant comes with a thin black 20" grosgrain ribbon that can be shortened. the closure is a sterling silver toggle clasp. please convo me before purchase if you would prefer a sterling silver chain, as this peice is unisex.
many hours went into the creation of this piece and i am proud to offer it for sale here in my etsy shop!
