Three Dimensional Lace Necklace – pearls and sterling silver

2010 February 26

Three Dimensional Lace Necklace - pearls and sterling silver

Description:

This delicate piece reaches forward, arching away, but perfectly connected. Dotted by tiny, white freshwater pearls, it is both romantic and classic.

This pendant involved several steps. First, its components were bent and soldered together. Next, everything was polished to a high shine. Finally, it was painstakingly wound with pearls.

The three dimensional arc goes across at an angle, and it is connected to the chain in such a way that it will hang just as it does on the model.

Total length including sterling silver chain is about 16 inches (41 cm). I think this one would be lovely on a longer chain, too. If you would like to modify the length, please contact me prior to purchase. There is no additional charge for lengthening the chain.

Pendant measures about 1" in diameter (2.5 cm). Pearls measure about 3 mm across.
