Obsidian Bolo tie
Sterling silver - reclaimed
Obsidian stone - cut 40 years ago!
Dark brown leather braided cord about 40 inches long
Repurposed brass bullet casing with turquoise accent
This stone has been patiently waiting for me to set it for a good two years now. A friend’s grandfather passed away and she gave me most of his cut stones. I feel very fortunate to have some of the stones he cut and this one was my favorite. This one is so good!
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
Made with love - one of a kind, twisted, bent, set, sawn, stamped, fired by my own two hands.
