About the Item

A wonderful abstract patinated and gilt sterling silver pendant necklace. The sweeping V form pendant is beautifully cast in wax first and patinated in the grooves. It is not heavy as pendant is hollow except for was. The edges are gold plated. The sterling chain detaches from both sides of the pendant so it may be worn as a brooch. The back has a pin backing. The pendant measures 3.75 inches wide, 2.5 inches high and .38 of an inch deep. The chain is 17.88 inches long. Attached to the pendant, the necklace circumference is 21.25 inches. It is inscribed on the back N. S. Bar-on for the first letter of the daughter Nurit and the mother Shoshana. There is a copyright stamp and 925 for sterling silver. Matching button earrings are shown in last two photos and available in a separate listing. The artist, Shoshona Bar-On, is a Holocaust survivor from Gyor, Hungary. She is not only a jewelry designer but a sculptor. Shoshana came to Israel in 1949 and settled in Galilee. She works with her daughter, Nurit, who was born after Shoshona's arrival to Israel. For more than 30 years, this mother and daughter team have worked side by side, designing unique works of art with an organic and natural feel. Both are self-taught artists who work and reside in Israel.
