Elven Knotby *Ellygator

Artisan Crafts / Jewelry

(2008) 2"x 2.5" for the silver pendant including bail, 19" for the overall length of the necklace.

Art Clay Silver (cut, sculpted, fired and patinaed), silver bezel wire, pure silver wire, banded agate cab, opalescent enamel, 22 gauge sterling silver wire and silver finding for the clasp of the necklace

I carved this design into a flat piece of Art Clay Silver, fired it, added the bezel to hold the central agate and then enameled all of the recessed areas with opalescent enamel. I then set the stone, antiqued and polished the silver and added the bail.

The enamel was a recent acquisition and has the most amazing pale blue over ochre shimmer, especially in direct sunlight, where it truly looks like liqid opal has flown over the pendant and pooled among the knotwork.

Love the chain. Is it full persian?

*Ellygator Aug 31, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

Yup, I get sooooo much mileage out of it. Wear it with nearly all my pendants.

such a lovely piece...the detail is beautiful!

*Ellygator May 25, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you! I really love this piece for everyday wear, it's subtle, understated and elegant. And I know better how to carve outlines for enameling now. I used to smooth them down, but that's not the way to go...
