Cat and mouse seal necklace

This pendant was made with a wax seal from the late 1700s.

A cat-and-mouse game is a playful dynamic of pursuit and evasion, with the advantage shifting back and forth between sides. The seal shows a cat playing with a mouse with the words "PLEASE DON'T" 

The pendant was made by pressing the seal into melted wax, then casting the wax in sterling silver. Each pendant was stamped individually with the seal, so the overall shape is organic and each one is slightly different. 

Pendant size: appx. 20x20mm

Chain length: 18 inches

Materials

This necklace is made entirely of sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper, which is added to make the metal more durable. There is no outer plating- the metal can be polished over and over for a lifetime.
