A lovely crescent moon pendant with an attractive and tactile finish.
I have reticulated a piece of sterling silver sheet and then hand-cut a crescent moon shape. I have polished the focal to create a lovely piece which beautifully catches the light. It hangs from an 18inch diamond cut ball chain necklace.
The pendant measures approx. 2cms
Reticulation is a process whereby sterling silver is heated, quenched and pickled repeatedly. This removes some copper from the alloy concentrating the remainder at the core and allowing a pattern to be formed on the surface. The resulting surface texture is completely organic, so each piece will be different and cannot be replicated.
Store away from direct sunlight and moisture and avoid wearing while swimming, showering, etc or them coming into direct contact with chemicals, such as perfume, household cleaning products, etc.
