Broken Steel Sterling Silver NecklaceMetallurgy verging on alchemy. A square of raw steel is rapidly heated then cooled and hammered, shattering the metal into unique shapes as the crystalline structure re forms, creating the darkly glittery focus of this pendant. No two pendants will ever be alike since the metal shatters differently every time. The maker is a trained metalsmith who has studied blacksmithing. This classic metalworking technique is rarely encountered in jewelry making.
