Acid-etched, hammered and polished brass disc features the Chinese symbols for “serenity,” riveted to copper. Measures 1-inch across (image enlarged to show details). Hung on 18-inch brass link chain with spring clasp. I have made these in the past and will make more in the future. It is one of the items I make more than once, but each is unique due to the creation process. Monitors vary, so color may appear slightly different in person, or under different light conditions. Gift boxed.

HOW I MAKE THEM

I drew my own version of the Chinese symbols for “serenity” and had the drawing made into a small rubber stamp. I used the stamp to put the image on a metal disk, then I inked over the stamped image by hand with a fine-tipped permanent marker to make it darker.

The disk was submerged in a solution of ferric chloride, which etched away anything not covered by ink. After an hour or two (depends on the strength of the acid) the disk was removed and the acid neutralized with baking soda.

The disk was rinsed, sanded, and then domed by hand using a ball-peen hammer and small anvil. I applied silver black, an oxidizing agent. This made it darker and enhanced the etched image. Then I rinsed, sanded and polished the disks again, and a hole was punched for the jump ring.

From start to finish, a single pendant like this takes several hours to create.

A warning… or a suggestion? “Peccatum” is the Latin word for “sin.” * This miniature from a medieval painting depicts Adam, Eve, the apple and the serpent. I’ve been collecting images for years (I use only found ephemera, never printed off of the computer) and I don’t remember where I got this one, or who is the artist, but it probably came from an old National Geographic magazine or an old art history textbook.

The pendant was created with a brass bezel, and the image set under Ice Resin. Measures 1-1/8 inches across (picture above is enlarged to show details), hangs on a dark brown suede leather cord adjustable between 18-20 inches long by hooking the lobster claw clasp on any link of the extension chain. Czech glass embellishment. Designed and handmade in my private studio. This is an original work of jewelry art, only one available, the item in the picture is exactly the item you will receive. Please note that monitors vary, and the color may be slightly different in person. Gift boxed.

* “Peccatum” is also a Norwegian metal band, but that is just a coincidence.
