About this Product

I created this Mountain Range Pendant Necklace with Sterling Silver Metal Clay. Unique and handmade by me. I etched the Mountain design in the Metal Clay during the greenware state before firing it in an electronically controlled kiln. I added a Copper Moon, or it can be viewed as the Sun :)

Message Card Insert included a lovely quote from John Muir-"And into the mountains, I go to lose my mind and find my soul". Perfect for gift giving or for your own information.

If you love the mountains this necklace featuring a mountain range and a copper moon/sun could be a great addition to your collection. It would also be a great present for the nature lover who loves mountains and hiking.

At check out you will have a choice between an 18-inch Sterling Silver Popcorn Chain or an 20-inch Sterling Silver Popcorn Chain.

Length: 1 inch

Width: ¾  inch 

Pendant is approximately the size of a penny not including bail.

Size reference image is included.

Meet the Maker

Most days you can find me in my home studio AKA "my happy place"  I was born with a passion to create.  I have been designing and creating jewelry for almost 30 years.  I love vendor shows as well as selling online.  I attended Jewelry Fabrication classes at the Toledo Museum of Art for several years which started me on my metalsmithing journey. A couple of years ago I discovered metal clay and immediately fell in love with this unique and versatile medium.  Quite frankly, I am obsessed! I often create pieces using metalsmithing techniques in my metal clay pieces.

As an artisan jewelry maker, my focus is on creating high-quality pieces that reflect my attention to detail and craftsmanship. I carefully choose my materials and take the time to creatively design and execute each piece, focusing on the finishing touches, that makes a piece of jewelry stand out. I truly love creating pieces that my customers will love.

How it’s Made

I created this piece with Sterling Silver Metal Clay and Copper Sheet.  During the greenware stage, I etched and carved the mountain into the dried clay.  After firing I added a copper moon/sun that I punched out of copper sheet and soldered onto the pendant.

About Metal Clay

I made these earrings with Metal Clay.  Metal clay is a type of clay that is made from metal particles mixed with a binder. It can be molded and shaped like regular clay, but when it is fired in a kiln, the binder burns away and the metal particles fuse together creating a piece of pure metal jewelry, in this case, a pure sterling silver pendant.

The basic techniques I use with metal clay involve three different states:

Soft Clay techniques:  I use different methods of shaping the soft clay which includes cutting, texturing, molding, and embellishments.

Dry Clay techniques: Also called the greenware stage. This is where I start the pre-finishing process which includes sanding, carving, and creating openings for rivets and eyelets.

Finishing techniques:  After the piece has been fired and cooled the finishing process begins.  This could include sanding, polishing, burnishing, and sometimes adding patina to certain pieces.

My end goal is always to create high-quality jewelry that my customers will love.
