Broken Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace
Metallurgy verging on alchemy.
A square of sterling silver is rapidly heated then cooled and hammered, shattering the metal into unique shapes as the crystalline structure re-forms, creating the uniquely "broken" texture of this pendant.
No two pendants will ever be alike since the metal shatters differently every time. The maker is a trained metalsmith who has studied blacksmithing. This classic metalworking technique is rarely encountered in jewelry making.
The 3/8" square pendant is suspended from a flat link 18" sterling silver chain with a large toggle clasp for easy wear.
Handmade in Indiana.
