I take a considerable amount of inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement. This pendant was inspired by a serpant necklace I found in one of my many books.
The stone is a white agate, and vintage black beads adorn the sterling silver chain. I originally cut the snakes out separately & soldered them together along with the bezel setting to save on metal. Once again my love for Intaglio is where the etching originated from. I used Nitric Acid to etch the silver, and I rub in an enamel paint to help bring out the details of the lines.
Necklace is available to view on my website.
I still want this and will kill anyone who buys it before me. Ok, I won't, but I WILL make you make me another one.
