FAITH PENDANT, FINE SILVER

This pendant is almost 10 grams of fine silver (.999 pure silver). It is handcrafted using metal clay (PMC) and is approximately 1 5/8" square. The Chinese character says "faith" along with the English word faith. I put a patina on it and then polished off the front to make it shiny while still colored in the lower areas. To be honest I think a couple of the pictures show the colors to be a little more brilliant than they actually are. Since each piece is handmade (and not from a mold) there will be slight variations in each piece. This is for the pendant only. If you would like to add an 18" rubber (2 mm diameter) or soft leather (1.5 mm diameter) cord with sterling ends and clasp please convo or email and add $6 to your order.



Metal clay is made of particles of metal, usually silver, that is mixed with an organic binder. After I make a piece it is thoroghly dried and sanded. Then fired in my kiln at anywhere from 1100-1600 degrees farenheit. This burns out all the organic material and leaves only the silver. Sterling silver is usually 92.5% silver; fine silver is 99.9% silver.
