Diner short arrow pendant with auto body steel from a 1961 Plymouth Valiant – #752

This pendant was hand-forged, by me, from sterling silver sheet and wire.

The pendant features a piece of steel from a 1961 Plymouth Valiant. The main body of the pendant consists of 18 gauge sterling silver sheet and a forged silver bail. All parts are soldered together except the shapes cut from salvaged auto body steel. The information card pictured in this listing will be included with this pendant.

The steel is attached to the silver pendant with silver tube rivets which give the piece an industrial look.

The bail on this pendant is larger and you might be able to swap the included 20″ stainless steel bead chain for another chain.

The overall design of this pendant was inspired by mid-century modern design and roadside diner signs.

This pendant measures 1″ wide by 2 and 1 and 3/4″ tall.

This piece has been accented with black oxidizing chemicals to bring out the hammer marks and the stamped lettering. The salvaged auto body steel has been treated with a glossy lacquer to preserve the surface and keep it from rusting, though I still would not recommend wearing it in the shower, pool, or ocean.

The Valiant steel is a red/orange color.

A 20″ stainless steel bead chain is included. If you want another length of stainless steel chain, let me know and I’ll replace the 20″ chain with one of your desired length (no additional cost – use the “contact” button on the homepage to contact me about another chain length).

Price includes USPS Priority Mail shipping inside the U.S.
