Reticulated Silver Pendant
The fun thing about reticulated silver is that, when creating the reticulation, you never know exactly what the results will be. The finished product is to an extent, chance.
The ripples on the surface of the pendant are like earth’s topography — it looks like mountains and rivers and valleys from far above the earth.
This is a hollow form pendant. The necklace runs through the piece. It’s about 2 1/2 inches long, about a half inch wide, and about 1/4 inch deep. Entirely hand-crafted and signed on the back.
