The desert becomes magical under a big moon, and that's what I put into this silver necklace, which has a sweet silver moon hanging beneath 3 diamond stars. This necklace starts with fine silver, which I melt into a ball, flatten, and hammer all of the texture into it. I make and solder all of the pieces from which the luminous moon hangs on the tiny silver chain, and then wrap the diamonds in. It feels positively regal to me. The diamonds are genuine diamond stones, and all of the metals are either sterling or fine silver. The chain is 16".

Recycled metal, in this case, is gold and silver that has been reclaimed from jewelry that is at the end of its useful life OR from metal that is left over from the silversmithing process (everything from tiny silver dust to excess wire). Recycled metals reduce the impact of mining while preserving the quality of your jewelry. Recycled metal does not mean that it is inferior in any way - it's not plated, a lower karat quality, or hollow. Exactly the same, just cleaner and more ethical.
