This pendant was inspired by a Victorian metal chain I found many years ago whilst mudlarking and searching the shores in Newlyn, Cornwall. I picked up two, one chain incredibly thick and heavy, and this one with thinner, more irregular links. This chain is the inspiration behind all the similar pendants in this series.
It was produced using the Sand Casting method with a wax mould I formed by hand. It is made from Brass. The length of the pendant is 4cm (1.6") and comes on an 18" 1.7mm Silver Belcher chain. It is a simple, unfussy piece that looks great for everyday use, but elegant for an evening out. As with all my pieces, they will not be highly polished and will tarnish over time, but in my view this is a bonus.
Handmade Sandcast Newlyn Chain Brass Pendant
With most of my pieces I do not aim to produce highly polished creations. The Silver will tarnish over time, but if this is not a look you like there is lots of information available on 'at home' methods for cleaning, much of which can be found in your kitchen cupboards, or alternatively a ready made solution can be purchased.
