Product Description - Artist Statement: "This is the first in a series of pieces I am creating. I call it "Artifact". It has the feel of something from ancient times, yet is also very current and wearable. I create lots of fused dichroic glass pieces and I love the shimmer of the piece I used in this necklace. I set it into textured and formed art clay silver metal clay, then fired it in a kiln. After firing it has been brushed, polished and then patina'd with liver of sulfur, then brushed again with a fiber wheel. I create all my pieces with lots of love and positive intentions. It is my intent that this piece help you get in touch with the deep ancestral wisdom you carry within and empower you to express your highest potential on all levels." Product Dimensions & Details - The dichroic glass piece was first created by layering several types of glass and firing in a kiln. I then used Art Clay Silver to create a textured setting for the glass piece. Art Clay Silver is a precious metal clay that is made of tiny particles of pure silver in an organic binder. It can be shaped like clay, then fired. During firing the binder burns away and the silver molecules rebond leaving pure or fine silver. I then brushed, polished patina'd and brushed the piece to bring out the beauty of the textured silver, and completed the necklace by stringing blue opal nuggets on sterling silver wire. I used a handmade clasp to finish the piece. The necklace is 17 inches long. The pendant is 1 1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
