Pebbles on Branch Pendant – Argentium Silver
Description
I build this Pebbles on Branch pendant from solid Argentium silver. I form hollow pebbles, then layer and fuse them onto a hammered silver branch. Each piece develops by hand. Therefore, every pendant shows slight variation. The texture creates contrast between curved pebbles and a linear branch. As a result, the surface feels natural and dimensional.
An 18″ Sterling Silver twist box chain is included.
Design & Feel
The branch rises in a clean vertical line. Meanwhile, the pebbles cluster along its surface. This contrast adds rhythm and movement. Because the pebbles are hollow, the pendant stays light. In addition, the open forms reduce weight without losing presence. Consequently, it feels balanced and easy to wear.
Argentium Heat & Finish
I use Argentium silver for strength and clarity. Then I heat-treat the piece to activate the germanium oxide layer. This process increases hardness and improves tarnish resistance. After heat treatment, I refine the surface and edges for a clean finish.
