Giraffe pendant and horseshoe nail crosses

Finished this little pendant for a young girls birthday this morning. 1 1/4 inch diameter domed sterling silver disk with a hand cut brass overlay. Stippled background. Yes, giraffes are her favorite animal.








 I also finished up an order for some crosses made from horseshoe nails. This was a fun little project. None of them were the same. Some were left natural and some were colored by flame bluing or Nitre-blue. A few had small overlays of silver or brass and one was totally overlaid with brass.

    1. Jesse- I have been out of town for the last few days, sorry I am late with this response. They are silver soldered together. The overlays are also silver soldered. Prices vary from $30 for a plain horseshoe nail cross, $35 for one with a small brass overlay, $40 for a full brass overlay and $85 for a full sterling silver overlay. Thanks for your interest.
