Sand-Casted Beetle Ring
Handmade sterling silver pendant cast from a desert beetle. Ring is approximately size 7.
Sand casting is an ancient technique where I create a mold using slightly damp sand and then pour molten silver into the mold. I take scraps of recycled sterling silver and melt them down to create each pendant. It is delightful alchemy. Each mold can only be used once and so each casting is unique.
