This handcrafted pure fine silver, men's cross can be personalized with a name, initials or date on the back. It has been hand stamped and hammered to give it a rustic, old world appeal with a modern edge. The sterling silver chain can be deeply oxidized to give it a rich charcoal color then sanded in some areas to reveal a little of the original silver shine or left original. Each piece is truly one of a kind.

This piece began as a gift for a special couple who then had them blessed before wearing them together. The photo I first posted of this piece has been highly popular with my clients and so now I've made this men's necklace available to you as well and this time in fine silver! The men's cross is approx 1 1/4" x 1". The size will vary slightly as they are hand made. Her chain is a 20" extra large 2mm ball chain.

How it's made: 

It starts as a clay that can be molded, stamped and textured in any way imaginable. I roll the clay and weigh it for a uniform size. No 2 pieces will ever be the same. It will be perfectly imperfect with raw edges and a rustic, old world feel with texture lines. I then let it dry, sand it to smoothness, and fire in a kiln for approx. Once fired, it is solid, pure, 99.9% fine silver. I then wire brush it, file and sand it some more. It's rustic appearance comes from a hand hammered texture I add with a texturing hammer in strategic places and when I'm happy with the texture I oxidize the piece to leave dark in the low areas and to highlight the high areas. Finally it goes in a tumbler for a final glimmering polish and to add extra strength. Long 2-3 day process, Yes. But sooooo worth it!!

If you would like a name, initial or date (1 word max) can be stamped on the back at your request in the message to seller section at checkout.

All pieces arrive wrapped and ready for gift giving or as a special package for yourself at no extra cost
