This is a solid sterling silver box chain with 0.5” Eating Disorder symbol. On this pendant the image is NOT INVERTED. This piece reminds us that we need to love ourselves no matter how good or bad our day is. We need to feel good about ourselves and move forward. I design and make all my pieces using recycled sterling silver. All my chains are also sterling silver and made in Italy. The pendant has dark areas that are oxidized sterling silver and are part of the design. The delicate sterling silver cable chain has three closed ring stations, this chain is adjustable to 16", 18" or 20".
You can choose a black cord instead of the silver chain in the NECKLACE MATERIAL section


Oxidation:

A piece of blackened or oxidized silver is true sterling silver, but it’s surface has been intentionally darkened through by introducing it to a chemical process. This patina, a surface color that occurs when the silver is introduced to sulfides, is a sped up version of the natural tarnishing process. A layer of silver sulfide forms on the exterior of the metal giving it a blackened look.

When sterling silver is dipped into special solution – black oxide film is formed, giving the metal a black/gray surface color. The entire piece is darkened, but then the raised parts are polished back to silver color, thereby leaving a nice contrast between the raised and lowered parts (crevices) of the piece of jewelry.
Like other patinas, oxidized silver is just a surface treatment and does not change the internal color or properties of the metal.

Variations:

All of the products at my shop are cast in small batches (5-7 pieces) and individually hand finished. So they are one of a kind creations and not factory manufactured. As a result products will have variations from one piece to the next, caused by variations in the sterling silver as well as the hand crafting.
The images, descriptions and measurements you will find in the description have been used to best portray the products I sell. The pieces you receive are at least 99% similar to the pictures. The slight differences might show in the color of oxidation of imperfections of the castings.
I like to celebrate the unique nature of each and every single product I sell. However if you do have any questions or queries regarding this please feel free to get in touch with the me directly.

Chains:

If you choose a chain as your necklace material, the necklace will come with the chain pictured.
Sometimes I substitute chains or bails from the images to another available chain or bail of an equal value and material. If this particular weave and size of the chain or the bail is sold out. I substitute chains from the images with another chain or bail of the same or higher quality, length, weight, value.
