Snail Shell Pendant

A beautifully detailed snail shell pendant made from a real snail shell.  Hand crafted from fine silver clay, the shell and the textured back have a very pleasing contrast.  A patina has been applied to highlight the beautiful details.   Details: Length is adjustable from 18 1/4 inches to 19 1/2 inches. Fine silver pendant is 1 3/8 inches by 3/4 inch. Sterling silver snake chain. 3mm faceted smokey quartz accent beads. Sterling silver hook clasp. Fine silver metal clay consists of fine silver particles and a binder.  After forming, drying, refining the piece is fired in a kiln.  During this time the binder burns off and the result is a piece that is .999 pure silver.
