First Men collection
Set with an opal, this pendant in solid silver 925/1000 (10.2 grams) and Gold 750/1000 (3.85 grams).
This piece in silver or gold is shiny giving it a unique raw effect reinforced by its stone and its shape.
Before becoming a piece of jewelry, I sculpted it entirely in wax using a scabbard as the only tool, each time with a different cutting angle. I created different layers in order to cast it in silver.
Gold is melted onto silver like lava covering the walls of a volcano.
To achieve this effect, gold is heated to more than 1000° to fuse with silver.
For the finish, the silver is patinated, aged deliberately, the gold contrasts with its shine, the unique effect is reinforced by the opal and the raw aesthetic of the pendant.
