Lady Bug, Lady Bug, Fly Away Home Pendant

A 20 ton press is used to press a piece of sterling silver into a die to create the flower top of this pendant.

The backside is hand stamped with a variety of flowers and insects. It was then soldered to the front to create a hollow form. This makes the pendant double sided and can be worn either side out.

In the middle of the flower is a bezel set handmade art glass lady bug cabochon that was created by glass artist Bea Stoltz (Germany)

There are three small rings added to the top loop to be used for a bail for the 20" sterling silver necklace chain included with it.

The final touch is an oxidized finish that reveals the finer details with in the designs.

There is also a matching pair of earrings listed in the Reaching Back Category if you want to make it a set.

This necklace is part of the Reaching Back Collection. This Collection is about creating new pieces of jewellery with dies and designs from the late 1800's. Giving them life once again and saving the work of master carvers long gone.
