This pendant holds a story; a story of peace, beauty and stillness. Like a little window into the secret garden it captures a moment of time in full bloom. I've created this pendant completely by hand in solid sterling silver, with a tiny 10k yellow gold accent for the sun. Inspired by my own backyard garden and the poppies I grow each year, this pendant is a one of a kind little piece of wearable art.

Through the Garden Gate Pendant // One of a Kind
♢ Solid sterling silver, both traditional and argentium sterling silver.
♢ 10 k solid yellow recycled gold (sun)
♢ The back features my signature MP (registered trademark) and a 925 sterling silver quality stamp. It is polished smooth.
♢ I apply a dark patina to the recessed areas of the pendant and it goes into my tumbler with steel shot to harden and polish the surface. The high points are polished to a bright shine, creating a beautiful contrast. This contrast between dark and light 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.
