Tribal Animal Pendant in Sterling Silver or Antique Bronze

This is a collection of handmade tibal style animal pendants including a tiger and eagles available in either .925 sterling silver or antique bronze. The pendants measure on average 3.5cm long and 2.5cm wide with a loop on the back of the pendant that can accommodate a 3mm wide chain or cord.

Due to the high cost of materials, chains are not included with any of my pendants. If you are looking for a chain, you have a selection found in my Chains & Engravings section of my shop, or with this link https://www.etsy.com/shop/ledragonargente/?section_id=20961585.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.

Bronze is an alloy that consists of a mixture of approximately 90% copper and 10% tin. Producing bronze is a less toxic process than producing brass as brass is a combination of copper and zinc, and the manufacturing process often produces zinc oxide which is toxic.

Because bronze contains copper, it can turn your skin green whether you have an allergy or not. Bronze and copper turn your skin green because when the copper reacts with your sweat and the acids from your skin, it produces copper chloride. Copper chloride is a green substance that then rubs off on your skin. If you are prone to sweating, your bronze jewelry will definitely turn your skin green. This chemical reaction can also be prevented by painting any part of the jewelry that comes in contact with your skin with clear nail polish or clear acrylic enamel.

Materials: Silver, Bronze.
