This handmade sterling silver kingfisher pendant measures 14mm wide and 21mm high and comes on a 16, 18 or 20 inch sterling silver curb chain. It is sent in either a branded pouch or gift box.
This pendant is made from 1mm and 0.5mm sterling silver sheet which is etched before a hole is drilled for the jump ring, it's then cut out by hand before the head is soldered to the body and then the edges are then smoothed using files and emery paper. Once this is done I carefully give it it's shape using a punch and hammer. A patina is added to the etched areas by exposing the silver to Liver of Sulphur, then the piece is then polished and a layer of Renaissance wax is applied to the patina to give it extra protection. I'll then attach it to a chain.
