Janice Marie Jewelry, Silver Heirloom Necklace

This necklace is created by using the lost wax technique, where wax is carved and casted into solid metal. The metal used in this piece is solid silver, which is furnished, oxidized for patina, and polished for shine. The pendant in this piece is made from a very Rare artifact; A Meticulously carved mother of pearl Chinese Gaming token from the 1700s. The coins that Are double sided, and have an initial carved on one, like this coin with an ‘A’, are some of the most rare. I created an antique style bezel for the coin, and hung It from a strand of light grey seed Pearls and gold coated Japanese glass beads. The findings are 14 karat gold fill And this necklace is an adjustable 18 inches.
