Small Retro Parallelogram Pendant made with steel from a ’57 Chevy Bel Air – #704

This pendant was hand-forged, by me, from sterling silver sheet and wire, with all pieces cut by hand using a jeweler’s saw.

The pendant features a parallelogram of body steel from a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. The information card pictured in this listing will be included with this pendant.

The steel is attached to the silver pendant with a silver tube rivet. The shape of the pendant has a retro look and a larger, hand-forged bail with a large loop so you can swap your favorite chain for the included 20″ stainless steel bead chain.

This pendant measures 7/8″ tall by 1 and 5/16″ wide.

This is rustic. You can see the hammer marks and rough surface on the metal of the bail. This pendant has been treated with black oxidizer to bring out the hammer marks, rubbed to a satin finish with super-fine steel wool, and treated with an archival acrylic wax to help preserve the finish. 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.

This Bel Air body steel is a rich blue color. Surface wear marks are original to the steel used.

A 20″ stainless steel bead chain 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 – just send me an email using the “contact” button on the homepage).
