Sun Moon Stars Pendant In Silver And Gold

Sun Moon Stars Pendant In Silver And Gold is a stunning piece invoking the light which comes to us from the firmament. The sun or Surya is sacred in India. We get our light and warmth from the sun. I have a beautiful stamp of the Sun, Moon and Stars which I impress into moist silver clay. The excess clay is cut away and the image is dried. After drying, the edges are smoothed and refined with a flexible sanding pad. The finished piece is fired in a kiln at 1645 degrees for 2 hours. What emerges is pure 999 silver. I burnish 24K Gold foil on the eyes of the sun and the moon face. This causes the Gold to fuse with the pure silver, a technique called Keum Boo. Patina is painted on the rays of the sun and the stars for contrast.  Dimensions : 1 and 3/4 inches X 3/4 inches. Sterling silver snake chain.
