Southern Cross Star Pendant Sterling Silver with 24k Gold Accent and Brass Rivet (14k solid gold rivet option).

The Southern Cross is one of the most distinctive constellations visible in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also called Crux and is located very close to the constellation of Centaurus.

If you love quality handmade artisan fine jewelry, you will love this elegant hand formed Sterling Silver fetish with its 24K Gold accent and Brass hand made rivet. No machine has touched this piece.

To make this gorgeous and sophisticated mixed metal pendant, I start with a thick sheet of sterling silver, 24K Gold and a tiny piece of brass. I work the sterling silver into the approximately 1 inch x 5/8 inch rectangular shape while folding the brass within and around an eyelet to form the rivet.

Using an ancient Asian technique, I use a combination of hand tools and heat to bring about a metallurgical transformation that binds the gold and silver together at the molecular level.

I create by hand and hammer the organic texture and use a variety of metal stamps and metal working tools to create the required design content of names, letters, symbols or custom art by slightly depressing the metal to create the text or image in relief.

The elegant balance of the metal tones are then enhanced by careful oxidation and meticulous hand polishing that brings the focal content to the foreground and highlights the organic complexity of the piece.

You get:
One Sterling Silver Pendant with 24k Gold and Brass Rivet 1 inch x 5/8 inch . Custom Hand made and personalized. I include a matching sterling silver ring installed through the eyelet as pictured, at no additional charge.

It is ready for you to put on your favorite necklace, pendant, bracelet or anklet.

Additional charges apply for option to personalize the back side of pendant or to substitute 14k solid gold rivet for brass.

This jewel will appeal to the more discerning purchaser.

Also, I can hand stamp any of the symbols, letters or words you find pictured in my store or create by hand any custom art you desire.

Do good and be beautiful!
