Anchor Pendant | Pure Silver
$80.00

Handcrafted in pure silver from precious metal clay, each pendant features unique designs—crosses, anchors, branches—rendered in relief against richly textured backgrounds. Every piece is individually created with an intentionally rough-hewn, organic quality that celebrates the handmade process. The pendants are shaped through careful sculpting and oxidation, creating darkened patina that highlights every detail. Each pendant carries its own subtle differences and imperfections that make it truly one-of-a-kind. These pieces celebrate the beauty of artisan craft, creating jewelry that feels both personal and timeless.

All pendants are made to order, therefore your piece may vary slightly from the images displayed. Please allow up to 5 business days for order to ship, but your wait will likely be much shorter.

Choose from three chain styles before adding to cart: delicate Beaded, classic Rolo, or modern Paperclip.

About
Monica

I am proud to live in Holland, Michigan, where my husband and I are raising eleven amazing children. My work is characterized by a deliberately loose artistic style that leaves open ends for your mind to pull on. I feel privileged to be able to add beauty to the world through art.

Self-taught, but always learning, I create in various media including acrylic, fabric and fiber, watercolor, precious silver clay, surface pattern design and, of course, playdoh. Due to those eleven kids mentioned earlier, I've just recently found time to share my art with the world and have already been published in magazines, exhibited, and sold in a gallery.

When I'm not caring for children or doing art, the rare time that's left might be filled with reading, gardening, swimming in Lake Michigan or something involving coffee and friends.
