Raku Steampunk Pendant - Quintuple Large Gear

This pendant is raku-fired porcelain, with small copper loops attached to either side of the pendant - securely glued in and ready to receive jump rings. The pendant measures 1 5/8" X 1 5/8" (about 4 X 4 cm).

The glaze turned out especially well this time, with very reflective metallic shades of fuchsia, gold and copper, which remind me of carnival glass. In the recesses of the design I melted cobalt blue glass, which interacted with the glaze, resulting in tiny metallic flecks in the pools of blue.

Shipping, to US addresses, is included on this and any jewelry item in this shop.

If you like this pendant but need a different style of bail or loop, you’d like it in another glaze, need extra loops, links to go with it, etc. – let me know. I’m happy to work with special requests!

Each of our pieces is sealed with silicone grout sealer, which very effectively keeps the glazes from changing color over time. The backs of the pendants are left unglazed and the smoke during the firing process turns them a soft, matte black. The pendants are somewhat fragile but just need the same care given to any delicate piece of jewelry.
