Bronze and Silver New Lotus Flower Pendant

Posted on 12/25/201212/28/2012 by Matagi Sorensen

Bronze and Silver Lotus Flower Pendant

My new lotus flower design is very lively – the petals on the flower are open and inviting.
Eye catching, yet small and light enough to wear during a workout.

This particular pendant is bronze and has a silver backing for those of you who enjoy the color of bronze but have a sensitivity to the metal.

The perfect gift for a yogi, flower lover, or meditator. Another addition to the zen collection.

Approximately 5/8 inch diameter by 1/4 inch deep. Hollow form. Signed.

Shown here with a 5-strand omega.

Turquoise Moon Shield Earrings

These earrings are made of hand-hammered silver and turquoise. They are a little bigger than a quarter. The texture on the surface creates the effect of small waves catching light.

The ripples in the metal vary with each earring due to the hand-hammered process. Instant classic.

These earrings are light and comfortable to wear. Signed on the back – no two earrings are alike.

Reticulated Silver and Garnet Pendant

Posted on 09/15/201212/28/2012 by Matagi Sorensen

Reticulated Silver and Garnet Pendant

Reticulated silver is a process of heating sterling silver, which has a very small amount of copper in it, until the copper, which has a lower melting point than silver, becomes concentrated and liquifies. The silver forms a sort of skin around the copper, which creates random patterns on the surface of the metal. The patterns are random.

I’ve blackened the silver so that the texture of the surface is more dramatic. In the middle of the bead/pendant is a garnet set in a shadowbox design. The garnet is set so that light can pass through.

Entirely hand-fabricated (hand-crafted). One of a kind. 3/4″ diameter, 1/4 inch deep. Signed on the back.
