This piece is made from sterling silver. The pendant is cast silver, (using the "lost wax" casting method) and the chain links are petina'd silver wire. It was so much fun to make because I love really extreme ridiculous detail, but man, my fingers were sore after soldering each tiny link by hand. :)

I generally just do "conceptual jewelry" that isn't actually meant to be worn. It's just really about enjoying the materials and being over the top. :)
