Silver Primitives

Beads by Barb

A page of silver primitive pendants handcrafted from precious metal clay. Each pendant is one of a kind and is 99 percent pure silver after firing. Some have Moretti glass imbedded in them before they are fired. I call them "primitives" because each piece is a "first" and either a figment of my imagination or a piece of nature that I have wanted to preserve.
These little guys are all hung on a shorter 18" silver plated chain to fit in the hollow of your neck. The bales and rings are large enough to accept most other chains of your choice. The pendants come in small black presentation cases. Click on a picture to see a REALLY close-up of the item then close window to return. Click here to review shopping cart at any time.

SIL01 - Turquoise Nugget. 1" long silver pendant with imbedded nuggets of turquoise glass. - $20.00. Add to order	SIL02 - Cyclops. 1" round silver pendant with pale lavender glass "eyes" and "mouth".

Add to order	SIL03 - Lacy. 1¼" long silver pendant set with three dragged multicolor glass beads and delicate lacy scroll work - $20.00. Add to order

The top of the leaf has been wound with copper wire which also makes the bale. - $20.00. Add to order	SIL05 - Starburst. This silver pendant is about 1" long. It has a shooting star design on the face which has been toned with garnet color. - $20.00. Add to order	SIL06 - Turtle. Or it could be a bird! Pendant is 1" across and has a blue/red glass bead imbedded in the center of the back. - $20.00. Add to order
SIL07 - Abstract. The pendant is 3" long and is fairly heavy (approx 1/8 oz. of 99 pure silver). This can be anything your imagination wants it to be - I kind of see a little octopus . This is on an 18" antique sterling chain. - $40.00. Add to order	SIL11 - Butterfly Eye. A whimsical silver butterfly with a large "eye" in the center - it is 1¼" wide at the top and 3/4" long. - $20.00. Add to order	SIL12 - Ocean Lava. A piece of molten glass lies on a bed of silver - the color of the glass is a wonderful ocean bluegreen. The pendant is not quite 3/4" wide and 1" long. - SOLD.
SIL08 - Ivy Leaf. An actual ivy leaf in silver - it is 1¼" wide at the top and 1½" long. It is very light weight and hangs nicely. - SOLD!	SIL09 - Snowball Leaf. This leaf is 1" wide by 1¼" long and is made from the leaf of a Snow Ball bush. - SOLD!	SIL10 - Oak Leaf. The Oak is our national tree and has the most interesting leaf of all! This little leaf is 1½" long and approx 3/4" wide. All the veining in the leaf is very distinct. - $20.00 Add to order
SIL13 - Mapleleaf Rag. This piece is about 1½" by 1½". I would not suggest wearing this leaf on a silk shirt as the detail of the leaf has some sharp points on it that could catch on silk. It is delicate and very realistic. SOLD	SIL14 - Totem. This happy little totem pole is 1 3/4" long. He's made of three silver disks and the detail on his funky little circles is colored with aqua and bronze rubbing and he has a large black glass "eye". He seems like a "lucky" little guy and he's looking for a home. - SOLD.	SIL15 - Silver Button Disk. This piece has a 1 3/8" diameter. The design on it is from a VERY old button I found in my grandmother's button box. It has a high polish on the raised parts (and my fingerprints all over the back grin). This piece comes on a 24" sterling box chain. - $30.00. Add to order
