Nirmada

Hindu name for "Who is without pride". An India-flavored pendant in silver, rather than gold. The shape is very similar to the archways found in the beautiful architecture of the old temples and tombs.

 

The main structure of this pendant is made entirely out of wire that has been shaped, soldered, and coiled. The gems selected are petite, faceted garnet rondelles, a faceted cognac quartz briolette, and an unknown bead at the top---andusalite maybe?

 

The oxidized snake chain is NOT included, but you can purchase one from my shop if you'd like.

 

This pendant has been oxidized and then hand buffed and machine polished for a nice shine. Oxidizing brings out the wire detail beautifully.

 

All metals used are sterling silver.

 

Pendant dimensions: 2 3/8 inches tall by 1 5/8 inches wide
