A perpetual staple in Halloween decor are the bags of spider webbing found in almost every Halloween decoration section. So versatile and eerie, these nostalgic webs have been reimagined in silver!
This little web was a work of engineering, much like a true spider web. A silver wire frame was constructed and draped with fine silver mesh. This was added to a back plate, raising the web off of the surface as a 3-D display. An aptly named spiderweb jasper is set onto the middle of the web. The backside of this pendant was stamped with stars as a nod to the nocturnal nature of our arachnid friends; it is also stamped with my maker's mark (BLJ). All of 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 15" tall and 1.25" wide at the widest point. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver, with the exception of the fine silver mesh.

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.
