{"url":"https://folksy.pro/items/8083971-spiral-sun-brass-and-silver-pendant","title":"Spiral Sun Brass and Silver pendant","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","provider_name":"Folksy","description":"A brass sun shaped pendant with a spiral of silver wire fused to it in the centre.\r\nThe sun shape has 8 long wavy rays and 8 short triangular ones. \r\nOnce the silver is fused to the surface the piece is cleaned and polished, slightly domed and then reheated to give a slight patina.\r\nThe colours of this patination are unpredictable, in this case  green and purple among the deep reds.\r\nThe sun measures around 2.5cm/1\" across and hangs by a length of twisted silver wirethreaded through a hole drilled through one of the longer rays, onto a red leather thong. The thong is fastened by a copper lobster claw clasp and a copper jump ring, the thong is approximately 45cm/18\" long.\r\nI haven't used this technique on brass often as it has a tendency to melt  before the silver fuses. For some reason it also looks like copper once it is heated to a sufficient temperature to melt the silver. There is copper in the brass alloy and I can only assume that it rises to the surface.\r\nA simple little pendant that would suit anyone really.\r\n","brand":"vintage beadery","product_id":8083971,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-04-10T16:21:41+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-0ae81181-1306-40a6-8641-3d13a84bfcee-spiral-sun-brass-and-silver-pendant-vintage-beadery/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-8abe466e-b591-44b7-ae1d-e76a92a7025c-spiral-sun-brass-and-silver-pendant-vintage-beadery/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-f502268d-5f5c-4007-8a27-13da4275d2ad-spiral-sun-brass-and-silver-pendant-vintage-beadery/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-3d0efcbb-35c2-4067-aaf2-b2e07e32cdca-spiral-sun-brass-and-silver-pendant-vintage-beadery/public"]}
