Description ****SOLD****

Probably one of my busiest and most creative pieces to date. Took me about 3 hours to make this. Made out of sterling silver sheet and wire, with about 15 separate solder joints.

It's a two tone finish as you can see. the solid background has a satin finish, applied with a bead blaster, and the wire has a polished finish.

This is AMAZING. I love it, it's unique and (almost) completely asymmetrical without feeling off balance. Beautiful showing of art and ability.
And it's silver. Yay silver!

How long is the pendant?

This necklace has an intriguing combination of shapes and swirls. I like the contrast created by the satin finish on the flat pieces and the polished finish on the wire pieces.

A lovely sinuous, abstract design! Love the way the top part curls around to form the bail.

lol well, it all depends on who you talk to. Some say my work is to expensive, others say I don't charge enough. Either way, I sell quite a bit, but the profits go to my dad. It's his jewelry store, and I make this stuff on his time XD
