This straw-colored moon is cut from stinking water plume agate, but don't let the name fool you! this agate may have an unfortunate name due to the locality it's found in, but it is full of gorgeous yellow and pale brown plumes, making it perfect for the harvest season. The backside of the pendant is decorated with stamped oak leaves, acorns, and my maker's mark (BLJ). The pendant is finished with a whimsical swirling bail holding the loops for the chain. The silver has been oxidized, a process which creates the blackened or antiqued appearance on silver. The raised points have been polished to shine, while the low points retain the oxidized color to show off the depth and details. The pendant measures 1.75" tall and 0.8" wide at the widest point. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver.

A few notes on caring for oxidized sterling silver: oxidized patina on sterling silver isn't particularly durable to long-term exposure to water (like bathing or swimming) or a lot of scrubbing, as friction is the way to polish silver to shine. Constant exposure to tasks such as hand washing, bathing, swimming, washing dishes, etc., will slowly wear away the oxidized patina leaving a shiny silver finish.
