Brand new design in my Circles Collection. This necklace features two hand-forged large Sterling Silver (.925) Circles. Each circle is given a hand hammered texture. The outer circle measures 2-1/4 inches diameter and has been antiqued with a dark patina. The inner circle is 1-7/8 inches diameter and has a hand stamped texture with a light patina to bring out the design. The center stone is a lovely disc shaped Golden Pietersite bead hanging on a hand torched ball head pin. There is a silver spiral accent on the bead. A small hand hammered silver circle holds all the elements together and allows for lots of movement.
This design is a study in light and dark, and contrasting textures.
Necklace comes on a 1mm 18" long Rolo chain that has been antiqued with a light patina.
