In the listing the piece might look darker than the finished piece. We artificially darken our silver pieces with liver of sulfur so that the details will show up in photographs but as standard the finished piece will be shiny and polished. If you'd prefer us to darken it then please let us know and we will happily do this for you.
This has been carved by myself from wax and then sand cast by hand in my home workshop and finished with a mixture of power tools and traditional hand tools like files and saws.
Available with a free choice of waxed cotton or leather cord. We also have a separate listing with silver chains here if you desire.
All our packaging is 100% paper. No plastic at all.
I will not hallmark the silver version in general and instead just stamp the reverse with my makers mark as it is below the legal requirement weight, but if you do desire full hallmarking from Edinburgh Assay office then please purchase the service HERE This service will take up to an additional two weeks. - Gold will be hallmarked as standard. sometimes we will already have a piece in stock and hallmarked, if you don't want this please let us know
