This large cameo-style pendant showcases intricate vine and floral details against the symbolic representation of a sugar skull.
I cast this unusual pendant in bronze metal clay that once fired in my kiln transforms to solid bronze. After firing them metal is burnished for several hours, then oxidized and buffed to reveal rich details, and burnished again for a lovely shine. The skull's eyes shimmer with white cubic zirconia, creating a fascinating contrast against the darker backdrop.
This unique pendant honors the significance of the sugar skull, symbolizing the celebration of life, remembrance, and embracing individuality.
The pendant measures 1 3/8" (just over 1 1/2" with jump ring) by just over 1".
