Pendant in 950 Solid Oxidised Sterling Silver & Obsidian

The Obsidian stone for boosting your happiness and confidence. With only a few elements in this design I highlighted the beauty of the obsidian in its center. My work begins preparing thick and solid sheets of 950 Silver, with a width of 5mm. One of them has a hammered texture and the other one is smooth, generating a contrast of surfaces. Then I shape and weld intertwining them to achieve a sculptural, balanced and harmonic design. This jewel has been oxidized to highlight its texture and the obsidian’s beauty. I finished it by welding a bezel to the center that holds an Obsidian cabochon that measures 12mm. The pendant measures 1 1/4” x 3/4″ It hangs on a sterling silver chain 18 1/2″

I work all my jewelry in solid 950 sterling silver. 950 silver is real silver with high purity. The number 950 refers to its level of purity, and it means that your silver item is 95% silver and 5% alloy.
