Hand forged from silver sheet and wire. 
Material: Sterling silver. I do not recommend that this item is worn in water or exposed to chemicals such as perfumes, lotions and cleaning products. Sterling silver will oxidise (blacken) over time, it can be polished with an inexpensive sunshine cloth. However, over-polishing may alter the finished look of the piece.

PROCESS
Silver wire is formed around the cabochon and soldered closed. Scrap silver is balled up with a torch and hammered into a steel impression die to form the snail, the excess is removed with a jewellers saw. The wire bezel and snail are then soldered on to the sheet backplate, the excess is removed with a jewellers saw, Meanwhile, sterling silver  wire is cut to length, the two pieces are soldered together before forming around a mandrel.  After sanding, polishing and patinating the cabochon is inserted and silver pushed over it with a bezel pusher to secure.
