The sweetest, simplest design in the whole collection: the Moondrop Necklaces.
This necklace is made from a shimmering mother of pearl moon gemstone. Hand carved in recycled shell and some of the stones have a gorgeous shimmer of barely perceptible color.
Softly dangling from the moon, as though the moon itself is dropping a silver bead, is a tiny sterling teardrop. Polished and shimmering, with the tiniest of movements.
On the backs of each of the necklaces is a silhouette of a star, a secret star plucked from silver, from me to you.
The necklace has been deeply oxidized to have darkness tucked in all the corners, and has been given a matte finish to highlight the stone.
☀ Moon carvings measure about 1” - 1.25”
☀ Suspended from chains adjustable from 17" - 20"
Made in my smithing studio using time consuming, age-old metalsmithing techniques. This piece is made with solid craftsmanship and all parts of this piece have been hand-fabricated.
______________________________________________
All of the pieces in my collections are handmade and hand-finished, and make use of natural and recycled materials. All items will have slight, natural imperfections rendering each piece unique. It is these variations and imperfections which denote their handcrafted nature and individual character, specially made for every wearer.
______________________________________________
To create my antiqued pieces, the sterling silver is oxidize until dark gray. Oxidation is a process that happens over time naturally to sterling silver. Then the piece is brushed and polished until the highlights are lighter and the lowlights are darkened. But this oxidization is not permanent, and will fade in the areas that rub, and stay dark in the recesses. The patina will change over time, making your piece unique to you.
