How it is made
From model to metal.
- SculptedThe design starts as a high-resolution 3D model.
- MoldedA resin master becomes an investment mold. The resin is only the pattern and is not in the finished piece.
- PouredMolten metal is poured into the mold by hand, in Texas.
- FinishedEvery surface is cleaned, antiqued and polished by hand. No two pours match exactly.
Wearing it
Your chain, or one of ours.
The pendant ships on its own, so it can go on the chain you already wear. Or add a leather necklace or a steel box chain when you order. The chain has to pass through the loop at the top of the pendant.

- 24 inAt the breastbone
Care
- Take it off to swim and shower.
- Store it dry.
- Polish the high points with a soft cloth. Skip dip cleaners: they strip the dark from the recesses, and the dark is what makes the detail read.

Questions
Is a chain included?
No. The pendant ships on its own. You can add a leather necklace or a steel box chain above the Add to cart button.
What do the protections cover?
Toning is a clear coating applied by hand before your pendant ships. It helps slow tarnish on silver and preserves the antiqued contrast on bronze.
Accidental Damage is repair or replacement for impact damage, a bent, cracked or broken loop, and deep gouges. One claim per pendant. It does not cover loss, theft, natural patina or necklaces. To file a claim, send your order number and a photo.
Which size should I get?
Medium is 1/2 oz. Large is 1 oz, twice the metal. The true size section above shows both next to a ruler and a quarter.
Is the silver solid?
Yes. 99.9% silver, cast as one solid piece.
What is on the back?
The back is flat.
Where is it made?
Texas. Every pendant is poured and finished by hand.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days, unused and in its original packaging.
