The Crayfish Necklace
Sterling silver pendant - reclaimed
From cast - a metal casting process that involves pouring molten metal into a cavity made of sand, where it solidifies
Sturdy 18” sterling silver chain, adjustable to shorter lengths - just clasp it to one of the chain links.
This is one of my first goes at sand casting and I’m so darn happy with how this claw turned out! If you are a crayfish lover, you are reading this and I know how exciting it is to see their claws on the creeks and rivers. This necklace has been a vision of mine for sometime now and I’m really happy to see it in real life. I love this one.
Please pay close attention when purchasing. There are three variants A-C.
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.
