Water Cast Pendant with Pearl // One of a Kind
♢ Solid sterling silver (100% recycled) and a single white freshwater pearl
♢ To start, I gather all my sterling silver I plan on using and melt it down to over 1700 ℉. When the silver is nice and liquid I carefully pour it into water. As the molten metal hits the surface it sizzles and freezes in place, capturing the moment when the silver is transformed. I love this because each cup is totally unique, outside of my control and I don’t know what kind of shape will emerge!
♢ The water cast cup is soldered onto a little half ring so that it freely dangles, with double jump rings for the chain to slide through. I have also soldered a tiny post inside the cup to attach the pearl. The pearl is half drilled and is securely attached to the post with jewellers epoxy.
♢ I have naturally darkened the inside of the silver cup with a patina to create a gorgeous contrast between light and dark. The top surface is polished to a bright shine, this contrast is what sterling silver is famous for. The inside of the cup will draken more with time!
