Limited Edition Doors of Durin with embedded Opal representing the Arkenstone. This mystical likeness of the West Door of Moria was inspired by my love for J.R.R. Tolkien's writings and films. "Speak friend, and enter". This, the elven made door built into the Silvertine cliffs marks the entrance to the dwarven city of Khazad-dûm.
SIZE AND DETAIL:
See pictures for dimensions. Each pendant contains approximately 5.0 grams of fine silver. I handcraft each piece so weight may vary slightly. All my materials are recycled and/or natural.
HOW IT"S MADE:
I made this fine silver pendant using Art Clay Silver (PMC). .999 After I shape the piece, I fire it in my jewelry kiln for 2 hours at 1650 degrees. I give it a bath in patina and polish it to a high shine. Most of my jewelry is made to order but I usually craft them within a month or so of sale.
RECYCLED SHIPPING!!!
I am so happy to announce that I use 100% RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE shipping material!! I have looked the world over for the most sustainable shipping supplies and I've finally found the perfect combo. From envelope to your gift box or bag. I even up-cycle my shredded scrap paper as padding! I will use my packing tape until it runs out, so not to waste, but then its paper tape as well. Love your earth!!
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
It's so easy! Fine silver doesn't tarnish easily, in fact I have a couple of pieces I haven't polished in a year or so. Just use a silver polishing cloth, when you notice a little change in the silver brilliance, just rub it with the cloth a few times! It will not disappoint. (I offer a polishing cloth with the purchase of two pieces) Please message me for your free cloth as I don't want to send an unwanted cloth. :)
NECKLACE INFO AND OPTIONS:
I offer a free adjustable (to 26") 1.5 mm cord necklace. You can choose from a waxed linen cord (water resistant, durable and plant based), genuine red leather cord, or pendant only. Both cord types are adjustable. In addition, I also offer an 18" 3mm sterling silver. Please message me if you require a longer chain.
SHOP TALK:
You are a wonderful person! I want everyone that is browsing handmade and small business shops to know that you mean the world to us. So thank you to all my thoughtful shoppers! ~LP.
