ARIK IDAN TORONTO ELECTROFORM BRUTALIST MODERN STERLING SILVER PENDANT PIN SHELL

Description: ARIK IDAN TORONTO BRUTALIST MODERNIST ELECTROFORM STERLING SILVER PENDANT BROOCH OSMENA SHELL This stunning OOAK pendant / brooch combo was designed and hand made by Arik Idan in his Wearable Art Studio in Toronto. Idan’s work is often described as refined Brutalism meets timeless Modernism, and this pendant/brooch epitomizes that description perfectly. A glorious silver blue Osmena Nautilus Shell oval cabochon nestles in organic folds of electroformed molten silver. The back is stamped “925 A…” for Arik but the last name of his signature wasn’t struck hard enough with the die and is barely visible. I have paired the piece with a solid 925 torque collar necklace for a modern look. The collar is very useful and can be used to host your other pendants. ABOUT ELECTROFORM: The electroform process is complicated but basically it involves designing and creating a template (mandrel), usually of wax. Layers of pure sterling silver are applied to the mandrel with electricity. When the electrostatic process is complete, the wax is drained out via a vent hole, leaving a silver casing over a hollow core. The resulting jewelry is therefore much lighter in weight than solid silver making it more comfortable to wear, especially with earrings. However, because the process is so lengthy and time-consuming, the prices for electroform jewelry are actually usually higher rather than lower when compared to solid silver. The finished product also has no seams which is desirable.HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPINGALL ADDITIONAL JEWELRY SHIPS FREE
