Fine Silver & Malachite Necklace

Malachite is center stage for this piece.  Beautiful cabachon of malachite is surrounded by a fine silver frame.  Malachite beads make up the rest of the necklace strand, ending in a sterling silver hook and loop style clasp.

Fine Silver pieces are made from a process with “Precious Metal Clay” where silver is ground super fine and combined with an organic clay like binder.  This “Metal Clay” is formed, kiln-fired, tumbled to work harden, and processed for the finish you see.
