Manta ray pendant, handmade eco friendly fine silver pendant necklace

This is a lovely stylized manta ray pendant. Handmade from eco friendly fine silver, I gave the manta ray a slightly curved profile, to mimic its movement in the ocean. It is strung on a rhodium plated sterling silver twisted rope chain. I also added a texture on the back side as well as my makers mark. I gave the pendant an antique patina and polished it back up.
The chain is rhodium plated to prevent tarnishing of the sterling silver.

This pendant is 28 mm x 39.5 mm wide. Basically just over an inch and a half wide.

A note on precious metal clay:
ArtClay silver is a recycled product that consists of fine silver particles suspended in an organic binder. The clay can be worked like other forms of clay, sculpted to almost any shape you desire. The product is then fired at an extremely high temperature, either by kiln or torch. The binder burns away resulting in a pure silver (.999) piece. The silver is reclaimed from such sources as 35mm film and medical and industrial leftovers. No strip mining necessary.
