The porcelain hand pendant on this necklace has been beautifully sculpted in porcelain clay. It features platinum nails and hangs on a sterling silver chain of your choice.
I modelled a three dimensional hand in wax, and from it, made a mould which was used to cast two parts.
The porcelain pieces were carefully joined and hand finished.
Glaze was applied to the nails.
It was fired in my kiln.
Platinum lustre was applied to the finger nails and the hand was fired for a second time.
Ceramic porcelain hand 5 x 3 cm approx.
925 sterling silver wire bail.
VK branded gift box included.
Necklace choices:
1) Sterling silver snake chain 1.6 mm x 45 cm (18 inches) with lobster clasp, stamped 925. This chain is fluid and slinky.
2) Sterling silver omega necklet 1.6 mm x 40 cm (16 inches) with lobster clasp. Hallmarked and stamped 925. Omega necklets are flexible but hold a round shape when worn.
Before making a porcelain heart, the clay has to be the right consistency and thickness before being artfully draped and manipulated into shape. Due to this handmade process, each heart will be slightly different and just as lovely as the one shown. The reverse side of each porcelain heart is flat and smooth with beautifully finished edges.
