In the forest of bare tree limbs, fallen leaves, and fog, glistening tapestries woven by nature's tiny weavers hang amidst the branches. In the liminal time between the whispers of autumn and the chill of winter, the forest is still and listening.
The moon is an incredible Picasso jasper, with shadowy branch silhouettes in greys and browns. The moon is flanked by a branch, cast in sterling silver and retaining fantastic organic texture. A web spun from thin silver wire is draped it over the silver cast twig and suspended in the opposing corner from the moon's bezel. The backside has a swirling bail for the chain and is stamped marked with my maker's mark (BLJ). 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 1.6" tall and 1.1" 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.
