The Roman chain is chain 20″ long, handmade of fine silver links woven together. Photo by Pat Vasquez-Cunningham

PRE-REQUISITE:
Students must be comfortable soldering with a torch.

Experience the versatile elegance and lightness of Russian filigree that goes from evening wear to street wear. This pendant from the series, Avalon is completely handmade in sterling and fine (pure) silver from its delicately sculptured, tiny wires to its individually fused and woven chain links.
