Alligator Love Pendant Necklace in Sterling Silver and Enamel

Who says alligators can't be sweet and lovable?? 

This sterling silver and enamel necklace measures about 3/4 of an inch tall and hangs from a 16 - 20 inch adjustable sterling silver chain with a spring ring clasp.

Complete the set with the matching earrings! Don't forget to check out all my alligator jewelry, and all my enamel necklaces.

I carved the sterling silver setting from a block of wax, then cast that wax pendant into metal and molded it so I can make multiples. The setting then gets a layer of vitreous enamel (fine glass) and fired at 1400 degrees in a kiln, four separate times, to build strength and color saturation . Finally I take an illustration from my sketchbook, turn it into an enamel screen print, and fire that on the top for a durable, waterproof and vibrant finish. So many steps.

I ship everything in cute gift-ready packaging using First Class Mail with tracking.
