Curious Cat Face Handmade Silver Pendant Necklace

Hand made using traditional methods. The design was drawn freehand onto a sheet of silver. Holes were drilled to enable the tiny jeweller's piercing saw to pass through to create the face detail, and then the shape was cut out. The rough edges were filed and sanded with abrasive paper to smooth the edges and remove scratches. The face was then domed slightly to add a curve to the piece and a jump ring was soldered on at the top. A bail was made and soldered around the jump ring. The piece was then placed in a warm pickle solution to remove fire scale caused by the blow torch. Finally lots of cleaning and polishing to achieve a high shine.
