Fun Tropical Fish Charm on Leather Cord Necklace | Unique .925 Sterling Silver Handcrafted Original Pendants Inspired by Nature
 
Island vacations go hand in hand with snorkeling, and this little tropical fish charm is a way to remember all of the abundant undersea beauty.

(We sculpted it in a bit of a cross between an animated fish and the Japanese treat "Taiyaki" for a little quirky fun as well).

Charming, relaxing and fun, this is what our necklaces are about. Whether out for a casual day catching up with friends, an afternoon at the beach, lunch, or an evening drive, Island Buddies silver pendants with their leather cords can finish off so many different ensembles.

Specifics:
 
Comes on a 1.5 mm thick, 18 inch long brown leather cord with a .925 sterling silver lobster claw clasp.

Our pendants and charms are created through a process known as lost wax casting.
An original sculpting is hand carved out of a solid block of wax. That sculpted wax is then set in a plaster cylinder and baked at more than 1000 degrees until all the wax is burnt out and a void of the sculpting remains. Molten precious metal is then spun into the void, and when it cools, it becomes the master model. A rubber mold is then made of the model so that duplicates can be made by injecting quick cooling liquid wax into the mold and then pulled to make many more wax copies of the original sculpting and the process repeats with the pendants then cast in sterling silver, polished, sand blasted and rhodium plated for a final bright finish before going onto the accompanying leather cord.
