This beautifully sculpted brass pendant is a little over an inch and 3/8 from the top of the bail to the stem at the bottom (about 3.5 cm). The design without the bail is an inch long (about 2.5). It has a nicely weighty feel.
Like all my pieces, I first drew the design with a pencil, then carved it out of jeweler's wax with tiny tools. After many hours of carving and refining my wax sculpture I sent it to a metal caster who made a mold of my wax model and reproduced it in brass. When I received the pieces back I filed and polished away any flaws that occurred during the casting process. Then I oxidize the pieces to darken the low places and polish them to brighten up the high places and enhance the beautiful forms.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
This necklace is solid sterling silver, which will tarnish if not regularly cared for. To prevent tarnish, don't let it get sweaty or oily and don't swim in it or wear it in the shower. Clean it with dish soap as needed. When it is clean and dry, rub it gently with the polishing cloth I have enclosed.
If it does tarnish, cleaning it and rubbing it with the cloth will restore its brightness. If it is still darker than you like, especially the chain, I have found that rubbing it gently with a paste of baking soda restores the sparkle. After cleaning it that way, rinse well, dry it well, and give it a final rub with the polishing cloth.
When it is not being worn, storing it out of light in an air tight plastic bag, such as a Zip-loc will help keep it bright. I have included a small bag that you may use.
