A chunky, solid sterling silver pendant based on an image of the Egyptian god Ra, a man with the head of a falcon.
From the Wiki entry on Ra: “All forms of life were believed to have been created by Ra, who called each of them into existence by speaking their secret names. Alternatively humans were created from Ra’s tears and sweat, hence the Egyptians call themselves the “Cattle of Ra.” In the myth of the Celestial Cow it is recounted how mankind plotted against Ra and how he sent his eye as the goddess Sekhmet to punish them. When she became bloodthirsty she was pacified by mixing beer with red dye.”

This is my latest custom request; jewellery for a couple. The ring is for one person and the other will be worn as a pendant. Solid sterling silver. Of course, if you both have the same finger size they can each be worn as rings.

A client commissioned me to make some silver earrings for his wife. These are large and heavy – three inches wide and 53 grams each – so he turned them into bracelets by filing off the fitting. I left the model as is and now offer one single piece as a pendant. Available directly from my Shapeways store here. If you would like this made into a bracelet also please contact me and I will upload a revised model for you.

Okay, so it’s not an ancient artifact, but I created it with that intention; to give it the appearance of a piece of jewellery from a long gone civilization… I was fortunate enough to meet a couple of lapidarists recently who showed me their fantastic collection of rocks and minerals. I was given this piece of quartz that I had never heard of. The pendant I made using it is solid bronze and holds a double-terminated quartz known as a Herkimer Diamond in the arms of the pendant. The bronze arms were made with a small divot in each to hold the points of the quartz and then forced together in a vice to grip it. Over time the bronze will acquire a nice patina (which an “ancient” piece should have) but it could be kept clean with the occasional buffing with cloth. The quartz is firmly held in place by the metal for regular wear, but if you slammed it against a wall it might come out!
This piece measures 25mm wide, 26.6mm top to bottom and 10.9mm thick. It is only available directly from me since I have no plans to add to Etsy at this point. Asking price is $50. Shipping in US or Canada is $7, tracked shipping $20. Contact me directly at gslinger at rogers dot com.

45 RPM Record Spindle Pendant for the TRUE music lover. Anyone who saw the image without reading this and didn’t know what the heck it was just HAS to be under 30 years of age! If you STILL don’t know what it is back in the days of REAL music, when a SINGLE song release was just that – ONE song on a piece of vinyl there was a large hole in the middle which allowed you to play it alone on your RECORD PLAYER, but if you wanted to stack a number of records to play following each other, then they needed to be placed on a thin spindle and thus this little piece of plastic had to be inserted to close the large hole to make the small hole available for the spindle.
This ends your history lesson for the day!
$11.97 for the one pictured below, $9.01 in white, and $21.70 in stainless steel. Direct link to the pendant HERE.

The day AFTER Valentine’s I decide to post this… hhmm.
I was intrigued by similar jewellery I’d seen that employed words viewed at different angles and came up with this. From the front (or back) it looks like a simple heart in a contemporary design, but if you turn it sideways you can see that the word LOVE is spelled out. Available in the usual plastics and metals; in stainless steel the cost is $19.20
