Solid Silver Reticulated Pendant

solid silver reticulated pendant – drop of silver

I created this solid silver reticulated pendant for Louise. She saw one on FaceBook I made for a dear friend of mine. That piece can be found here. Although I don’t usually recreate custom pieces exactly, I was pleased to make another similar one for Louise.

I made the bottom of the pendant by heating a solid chunk of silver until it melted and became round and reticulated. I shaped silver wire into a spiral and added that as the bail. Then I soldered the pieces together, pickled them, brushed them et voilà!

So simple but effective, and this reticulated pendant makes a lovely everyday piece. I enjoyed making it. Silver is such a fabulous and endlessly changing medium! Working with silver is just the best. You can read more interesting info about silver here.

If you’d like your own custom silver piece, do feel free to contact me. Perhaps you’d like a piece for yourself, or a gift for a loved one, or a family heirloom? I’m always happy to discuss your silversmithing requirements.

If you’d like to connect up with me on social media, head over to FaceBook or Instagram. It would be lovely to see you there!

a pendant I created for a dear friend of mine, at the (secret) request of her husband. This was a cheap 'n' cheerful piece that was crying out to be recreated in 'proper' sterling silver.* Love you guys! xx

*Just a note that I am no longer doing replica pieces, sorry to tantalise! (I did say from the vault… 🙂 )

When you have the husband who has everything, what do you make for his birthday? Well, you might remember I created this money clip last year.

Solid Silver Belt Buckle

This year, a belt buckle was requested. It was quite a challenge to build, as it is made from 2mm thick sterling silver which had to be shaped three-dimensionally.

I’m happy to say this buckle has been worn every single day since it was given – it’s not so shiny any more – in fact it’s looking quite tarnished and worn, just the way its owner likes it!

This piece is a one-off custom piece, so I won’t be replicating it.
