| High-Relief Wearable Sculpture 1 1/2"W x 1 1/4"H x 1/2"D 18K Gold ~ Edition of 5 & 1 Artist's Proof ©2001 ~ Special Order. 14K Gold ~ Edition of 10 & 1 Artist's Proof ©2001 ~ Special Order. |
This wearable proclamation of love about your smooth dachshund is both high-relief sculpture and a protective talisman. Each loop, also known as a bail, is custom designed to fit the piece on which it is to be worn. The bail is hinged allowing it to be hidden when the piece is worn as a pin. My California collector, whose piece is shown above, chose a 14K gold key chain, with bright beautiful balls, to suspend her Pin Pendant. If your personal style leans a little toward conservative, Design One is the Pin Pendant for you! I offer this Pin Pendant in your choice of yellow or white gold. It can be worn as a pin or suspended on your personal chain or on your Omega where it will grow more beautiful with age and provide years of enjoyment. This Pin Pendant is an extension of the miniature fine art I create. Each is created at or smaller than the 1:6 scale recognized as the standard by miniature societies throughout the world. Each is crafted by hand, one at a time, using the lost wax casting method, a technique that has been used for thousands of years. Each is signed, numbered and includes my mark, Treat yourself... and enjoy! |

| Jewelry Polish ... KISS - Keep it So Simple |
| The jeweler who casts my work recommends a simple solution to polish your precious metal: baking soda and water! Wet your fingers, dip in baking soda, and gently rub over the piece until the desired sheen has been achieved. It's easy, earth friendly, and economical! Keep it so simple. |
