These dendritic opals have a whole tundra landscape captured inside of them! Snow drifts, dendritic trees, and speckles of falling snow, all created through millennia of geological processes. ❄
Each stone rests in the center of sparkling silver satellite chains. The backside of the focal piece has been adorned with a stamped tundra to match the back; a variety of evergreens and snowflakes create the frigid landscape. The backside also bears my maker's mark (BLJ). The details on the backside have 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 detail. The chain has been given a shiny silver finish. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver.
Each necklace measures a wearable length of 17".

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. Cleaning sterling silver can also remove oxidized patina applied to the piece, so use caution when cleaning if there is desired oxidized patina.
