Oil Painting Poppy on Handmade Silver Pendant

by Nancy & Cor
(The Netherlands )

This is wearable art of unique character. Oil painted jewelry.

A collaboration of original metalsmithing with silver and an oil painting of a poppy under a clear blue sky. Pendant and oil painting are both handmade with love and passion.

The plain look of the pendant (matte) makes a special combination with the original oil painting of the vibrant poppy, in impressionistic / impasto style. The detail of the silver extension of the flower's stalk makes this design unusual and special.

My husband Cor van der Plaat made this silver (925, first quality) pendant especially for this oil painting I made.

The chain is also sterling silver, first quality, with lobster claw closure, also silver.

As you can see on the pictures, the tiny piece of canvas with the oil painting is sunk into the silver pendant.

Measurements:

Size frame: 40 x 32 (without loop) x 2 mm thick (1.57 x 1.26 inches x 0.08 inch)

Chain: fine silver 50 cm (19.7 inches)

Weight of the pendant: 30 gram, massive silver.
On the back of the pendant is a tiny mark ".925".

The painting is on canvas, glued into the pendant and varnished for protection.

We both loved making this pendant for the use of wearable art.
