Malachite Goldfill Wire Wrapped Pendant s09p001

$42.00
I made this pendant by wrapping an oval-shaped malachite stone in goldfill wire. The stone has bands of gorgeous greens, and it measures 18mm by 25mm. The overall pendant length is 42mm (1 5/8 inches).

Please note that this pendant doesn't come with a chain.

About goldfill: Goldfill is a wonderful inexpensive alternative to solid gold. Goldfill is not the same as gold plated. A gold plated metal has a very thin layer of gold that was electroplated onto a base metal. Goldfill, however, is made by heat fusing a layer of gold onto a layer of base metal (usually brass). Unlike gold plated metal, the gold on goldfill is unlikely to wear off, because it is more than 100 times thicker. The goldfill wire I used in making this pendant is 12/20. That means that 12kt gold makes up 1/20 of the volume of the metal.
