Here’s a set of forged cross pendant and earrings I made for Kathy back in 2014…
Again, my photography is terribly poor, but they actually did turn out nicely. The pendant has the cross lay horizontally across the wearer’s breast plate.
By forging the sterling sheet with a ball-peen hammer on one side, and marking the patterns and sawing them out from the other side, you can create pieces that throw a lot of sparkle in the light. Solder on some O-rings to attach them to a chain or ear wires and you have a relatively easy project almost completed!
I did not make the ear wires however… she already had those factory-made ones on hand for her bead crafting, and the chain was purchased by the foot and only needed a clasp and O-ring soldered on after the pendant was attached.
