Keepsake Necklace with White Oak Cab

The last of the three White Oak Leaf, Keepsake Necklaces:

Sterling Silver Leaf which is sweat soldered to a copper base.  I made a cab out of a piece of salvaged white oak from an old tree and added it to the pendant.  

Because the pendant is so rustic, I decided to compliment the pendant with a mutli-leather, brown necklace with rustic copper hook and eye.

Finished, White Oak Leaf Pendant with Cab

Here is the final result of the White Oak Leaf Pendant I was working on.  I made a cab from a piece of White Oak which I formed and covered in epoxy to protect it from water.  

I made the leaf out of copper sheet and sweat soldered it to a plate of sterling silver.  

The pendant measures 1-1/2″ x 1/2″.

Copper Oak Leaf Pendant Progress

Another custom Oak leaf pendant in progress!  This one is a copper leaf

overlay on sterling silver plate.  I just added a bit of texture to

give the leaf a bit of depth.  I still have lots of work to do on

the pendant, but so far I'm quite happy with how it's looking.

I hope the customer will like it as well...  

This is what is left to do: 

* make a bail and solder it to the sterling silver plate;

*sweat solder the copper leaf to the plate;

*make a bezel, solder it to plate;

*prepare the stone (which will be super special with an awesome little story attached).

Stay tuned for the end results!!
