"From the tiny acorn grows the mighty oak." - English proverb
Featuring a Montana agate carved acorn paired with another of the same stone in a lighter shade, this pendant celebrates the tiny beginnings of the oak. The acorn is suspended from a tiny cast twig loop. The backside of the acorn is adorned with stamped oak leaves and my maker's mark (BLJ); the back of the round agate is stamped with a tiny acorn. 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 1.2 tall and 0.5" 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.
