5 out of 5 starsThis is a first-class artefact, beautifully made from stone. It is substantial without being bulky or too heavy. Perfect for round the neck and the string is soft and secure. The transaction was easy and the delivery both safe and quick. A happy customer.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely stunning piece of jewellery, exactly as shown in the picture. I bought this as a present for my partner's birthday, and I know he'll absolutely love it! I also had a custom engraving on the back, which was well catered for and so beautifully done. Thank you for this beautifully unique present, I will be ordering again in the near future!

In the process of making this pendants. The first stage is to cut a slap of the stone then draw the design on the stone.
-
The second stage is to cut out the image using hand tool called fret saw. I only use hand tools to do this carvings.
-
This is the third stage, the edges of the stone is shaped with needle files and chisels then polished with sandpaper.
-
This is the finished unique pendant. I use chesils and files to carve the details on the stone after polished.

This is my workshop cum Market Stall in Camden Lock Market in London Where I carve most of my Pendants
I Hand-Carve This Pendants By Myself Out Of Natural Stone
My name is Nagarajan Ramachandran, know as NAGA. I have been carving stone since I was a small boy, maybe 6 or 7 Years Old. I was born in South India a town where stone carving is a part of life for over 1000 years, since the 7th century.
I grew up surrounded by ancient stone carvings in rock cut caves and temples, and was naturally inspired to take up the skills and practice, as my godfathers had done before me.
After completing my school education stone carvings was the natural choice for employment for me.
I was able to travel to the UK and set up a stall in Camden lock market in London, 20 years ago.
I work from the stall to sell and carve the pendants I make. On average I carve for 7 hours a day, still using the same techniques used centuries ago to create status of Hindu deities that my home is so famous for.
Over the years I have widened my repertoire to include symbols and characters from other ancient traditions including Celtic, Buddhist, Zodiac and Mythology. Whichever one you choose, you take away with you a small piece of history, carved by my hand. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for stopping by, All the best to you. Naga
