This lovely shield pendant is cast from a granulated original and is cast using the lost wax process. You can choose which stone to set in your sterling silver granulated shield.
Stone Choices: Pink Garnet, Red Garnet, Blue Topaz, Peridot, or Amethyst.
Granulation is an ancient fusing process in which I make all the tiny spheres and place them with a brush before fusing them with a mouth torch. I then make a mold, then a wax copy, and through the process of lost wax casting I make this cast pendant in silver. The shield is patinaed, pin-polished and given a light polish for a bright shimmer.
With a 16", 18", or 20" sterling silver cable chain or all by itself!
