This pendant is an ode to the harvest season that has sustained us throughout time.
The pumpkin is a gorgeous orange carnelian and features carved detail lines. The handle of the handforged scythe is a silver-cast twig. The wheat sheaves are brass with a silver band tying them together. The backside of the pendant bears my maker's mark (BLJ) and a bail for a chain. All of the silver has been oxidized, a process which creates the blackened or antiqued appearance on silver. The raised points have been polished to shine, while the low points retain the oxidized color to show off the depth and details. The pendant measures 1.25" tall and 1.25" wide at the widest point. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver, with the exception of the brass wheat.

A few notes on caring for oxidized sterling silver: oxidized patina on sterling silver isn't particularly durable to long-term exposure to water (like bathing or swimming) or a lot of scrubbing, as friction is the way to polish silver to shine. Constant exposure to tasks such as hand washing, bathing, swimming, washing dishes, etc., will slowly wear away the oxidized patina leaving a shiny silver finish.
