Sterling Silver Owl hand pierced Sunset Pendant
$79.00

Handmade Sterling Silver Owl Pendant – Sunset Series

Each of these enchanting pendants is handmade to order and meticulously hand-pierced with a jeweler’s saw, featuring a wise little owl perched among delicate branches. Crafted from solid sterling silver, the pendant measures approximately 1" in diameter, with a soft satin finish that beautifully highlights the intricate silhouette.

This pendant is part of my Sunset Series—pieces designed to evoke the look of a fleeting silhouette against a setting sun or rising moon. They capture a brief, magical moment in time when nature pauses in quiet wonder.

The pendant hangs on a sterling silver chain in your choice of length—16", 18", 20", 22", or 24"—and is finished with a secure lobster clasp.

Because each piece is individually crafted by hand, please allow for slight design variations, ensuring every pendant is a truly unique keepsake.

A tender tribute to woodland mystery and nocturnal grace, this pendant is perfect for everyday wear or as a heartfelt gift for lovers of nature’s serene moments.
