Silver Horse Pendant

For the horse lovers out there, this silver pendant is for you.  This one-of-a-kind sterling silver pendant is created using a process called lost wax process, or cire-perdue in French.  More than a pendant,  you're wearing a sculpture because that is what a wax cast mold creates.

Superb skill and artistry translate to pure style. Wax casting is not for everyone, only those with the skill and patience to make an individual mold for each individual pendant. A wax mold is hand-made, then the hot, liquid sterling silver is poured into it. This process then melts away the mold, destroying it. What is left is a sterling silver sculpture of the mold. A new mold is then made to make another pendant, and so on.

Common on every continent except Australia, the lost-wax method dates from the 3rd millennium BC and has sustained few changes since then.

This silver horse pendant stands tall and wide and it is definitely a statement piece. Wear this pendant and enjoy the countless compliments. This pendant is 1.6 inches tall and 1.3 inches wide.  The tail and head of the horse both have a shiny and oxidized finish to enhance its details.  The rest of the body has a high polish finish.

This sculpture of a  pendant comes with a leather cord and will arrive in a velvet jewelry pouch, along with a polishing cloth. All our jewelry is artisan-crafted to last a lifetime, and ships worldwide, free of charge.
