Description This is a silver casted necklace/pendant. It started as wax, then turned into a mold, and final, when the wax melted out, I poured molten silver in the mold and let it harden. After retrieving the newly emerged pendant, I have to saw off the sprus which is basically a funneling system for the metal, and then sand and polish her to her brushed finish.

There is a bonus with this piece, I made it so that the bead could be traded. I make my beads from glass so the pendant is 100% hand made in the end.

Here are some more of my casted pieces:

Love functional designs. I love the shape of this. The thing I like the most is you make the marbles as well so it really is all truly handmade. Beautiful work.

Very nice! What holds the bead in from the back to keep it from falling out? I love the beads by the way, especially the darkest one in the main photo. Just lovely!

It looks like a pin back except It's a thicker rod for the beads.

Ah ok. It doesn't show from the front. Very nice illusion!
