This was my first experience hammering silver. I loved it! The frame is heavy guage sterling wire, shaped into a rectangle (1.5" tall and .75" wide). The articulated enamel fish hangs from a handmade loop. The pendant is threaded onto a silky black ribbon that can be worn or removed and replaced with the necklace of your choice. Please see the pics for amazing detail on the fishy and an idea of the rich texture that hand-hammering has given this piece. A Note: The model pictured has been sold. Subsequent versions will vary slightly in that the colors of each enamel pendant are unique, and hand-hammering means they will all be different.
