Raven Skull Necklace

This raven skull is one of my oldest original designs and still one of my personal favorites. I have been making it for several years but never in solid sterling silver in this size. Using a special casting material, I shrank the original 2-1/4" skull down to just a shade over 1", all the while retaining perfect proportion and detail. The shrinking material is a real pain to work with but the results are well worth all the effort. This newest smaller version of the original skull is cast in solid sterling then given an oxidized treatment to define the details. It utilizes my tried and true design of running the chain directly through the skull that I have successfully used for several years on so many of my designs.
