Okay, there are Heron pieces, then there are Great Blue pieces like this! So many layers make up this pendant and it turned out so well, I felt like maybe it should be in a gallery. BUT, I’m a business woman, and I know how many of you love a good Heron piece.
The fish under the opalite stone is a design of my own and I’m pretty proud of it. The stone is beautiful in every light. This piece feels like swimming in the river on a warm, sunny day when from the corner of my eye, I see the Heron hunting on the banks. A true omen, she is.
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 morebecause 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.
