These pendants are 100% handmade and are made of a material called "metal clay silver", which looks and acts like clay, but is actually made of very fine silver particles joined together with a binder material. When fired, it results in a piece of jewelry that is 99.9% pure silver, also known as "fine silver". Most of these pendants are one-of-a-kind because they are my design explorations. They are highly labor intensive to create, which is why they are more expensive than other pieces in our store. If you purchase one, you are likely the only person wearing that design in the whole world.
