Salmon Jaw Necklace

14k gold star - reclaimed
18” chain - I made it adjustable, but this necklace fits better tighter. I like to wear it at 14”

This piece is crafted using the lost wax casting technique. It captures wildness with an artist’s impression of a brown bear walking amidst a world of salmon. It’s a balance of delicate craft with bold artistic expression, making it a distinctive piece that reflects the rugged beauty of the wild. Made for those who appreciate detailed artistry and a connection to the wilderness.
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.
This necklace should be stored hanging. The chain is strong, but more delicate than what I normally use. To keep it wearable for a lifetime, make sure to take good care of your wares.
All of my jewelry is stamped .925 and or 14-24k gold. This is helpful for resell value if you ever decide to pass it on.
