Inspired by a seedpod bursting open, this teardrop pendant is handmade from solid .925 sterling silver in my studio located in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

Medium Drop Pod Pendant
♢ Solid sterling silver
♢ To create this pendant I constructed a master from solid argentium silver, forming each circle from silver wire by hand and melting the silver into little balls. When the master was perfect I had a mold made and cast it into solid sterling silver. This is a limited edition collection as I personally hand finish each pendant by sanding and polishing the surface until it shines.
♢ I have also applied a dark patina to the recessed areas to create a beautiful contrast. The contrast between the shiny bright white polished surface and the dark harder to reach area is what sterling silver is famous for!
♢ The process of creating is slow and intentional, I use traditional metalsmithing tools and processes alongside modern ones to create all my pieces by hand. My heart goes into every single piece I design.
♢ I am inspired by all things green and growing. My intention is to capture a moment of beauty in solid sterling silver. My garden and nature walks give me a ton of ideas for new designs!
♢ Seeds and seed pods are a prominent element in my designs. The seed represents hope, perseverance, and potential. It is a symbol of encouragement!
♢ This pendant has a diameter of 3.9 cm and a width of 1.6cm. It features a "hidden" bail loop on the back that allows the pendant to almost look light it is floating on the chain.
♢ Your choice of sterling silver chain in 16” , 18” or 20" length. Choose from three different styles: snake, satellite, or link. Pictured is the snake chain and link style.
