A favorite face from 2022 has returned for Valloween! 🖤🎃
Etching the surface of the silver created a more organic texture and allowed me to add fine details like the ribs (segment lines), the veins in the leaf, and the lines on the stem. The pumpkin is also adorned with curly pumpkin vines, one of which creates the loop for the chain. This particular pumpkin features carved heart eyes and a toothy smile. 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. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver.
This pendant measure 1.5" tall and 1.1" wide at it's widest point.Â

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.
