The Making of Silver Pendant
There is something about the white glow of a silver pendant, which has captivated our senses for long. But there a lot that goes in to the making of a silver pendant. Right from the time that it is brought up from the mine, to the time the silver pendant is sold on the general market.
A silver pendant is made using different techniques, and can often represent the artist’s unique style. One of the traditional methods is to roll the silver out and then a rough shape, which will become the silver pendant, is cut out.
Thereafter the cut piece is pounded out with a mallet to flatten the silver and to temper it. Silver pieces are then pounded over some kind form, which would give the desired shape to silver pendant. Pounded silver gives a unique look because of the marks left by the mallet. Moreover it ensures that each piece is one of a kind, and no other silver pendant will be like yours.
Another traditional method is called casting. In this process the pieces of silver are melted down and then poured into a mold and allowed then to harden. The process involving making the mold is an art form in itself and is generally referred to as the’ lost wax method’. The artist sculpts the soften wax into the desired shape that he/she wishes the finished silver pendant to be in.
Furthermore, it is then placed into another mold, and plaster of Paris is used to encase the wax sculpture, leaving an opening at the top. Once the plaster of Paris has dries, then it is heated up enough to melt the wax within the plaster, leaving the shape of what will be the silver pendant inside.
In the final step, the artist melts the silver and pours the liquid silver into the mold. Once solid, the mold is then broken open and the silver pendant is then removed once it is cool enough to be handled.
These two traditional ways are the most popular ones while making a silver pendant.

Dvorák: Cello Concerto, Op. 104 / Tchaikovsky: Rococo Variations, Op. 33 $7.69 Mstislav Rostropovich is the world’s greatest cellist, and he has actually made at least five recordings of this greatest of all cello concertos. I have a certain preference for his later version, with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra on Erato. This version has long been a prime recommendation, and in this new remastering at mid-price, it’s an even better deal now. Herbert von Ka… |

Satie: Piano Works $11.99 It’s simple: in his various realizations of the piano music of Erik Satie, Aldo Ciccolini set a standard that has yet to be bettered. This compilation, drawn from recordings made between 1966 and 1971, is consequently the best of the best. Ciccolini always played Satie’s music as though it had been written by Claude Debussy, not by some cheap charlatan or uneducated primitive (which, to an extent … |
