A Dragon twisting and turning as it dives out of the sky hesitates just long enough to twirl it's tail around a cord and hang from your neck. The dragon is sculpted three dimensionally so as your dragon necklace moves back and forth the dragon looks great from any angle, truly a piece of wearable sculpture in this Renaissance Dragon Pendant.
This sterling silver fantasy jewelry pendant was created using the lost-wax casting method. After various designs and sketches were completed the diving dragon was sculpted out of wax. This process takes many enjoyable hours to create a strong overall design, along with precise detail -- note the individual scales on the dragon. When sculpting is complete the wax is invested in plaster and put in a kiln for a burnout cycle, the wax melts and molten silver is poured into the void where the wax used to be. It is cooled for a few minutes, then quenched in water, the plaster breaks away leaving the cast metal. Then excess metal is removed and the piece is given a rough polish. The silver is then oxidized (antiqued) to highlight the detail of the work before it receives a final buff.
The pendant is 7/8 inch wide by 1 1/4 inch tall). A 16 inch black cord is included, for a high quality sterling silver chain please see https://www.etsy.com/listing/244190048/interlocking-sterling-silver-chain or https://www.etsy.com/listing/244190540/woven-style-sterling-silver-chain
