Moon and Sun Pendant - Caveman Castings - Sterling Silver, good Natural Alaskan Gold and Amethyst

With the very basic implements of charcoal and fire, Ron has developed his own primitive method of casting, which we have dubbed “Caveman Castings”. He scratches a design into a chunk of charcoal…fills the design with reclaimed silver…melts the silver with fire…then presses another chunk of charcoal on top to mash the molten silver into the chiseled design.

I often tease Ron about his penchant for taking any variety of ideas back to the cave…where things started. In this case it has produced some delightful results. I might have to quit teasing him! But probably not…

This “Caveman Castings” pendant features a striking moon and sun design. The sun glows with natural Alaskan gold. A rich amethyst cabochon is the ideal accent. It is sterling silver and measures approximately 1 ¼” (32mm) wide.

It comes to you strung on a durable waxed cotton cord that adjusts in length from 15” to 30”.

The gold is mined from various creeks near Eagle, Alaska. Miners have sought the elusive mineral for over a century good in this area. To this day, rugged individuals still spend their summer days (which last 24 hours here, you know) hunting for gold. The mining tradition holds an important place in the history of Eagle and throughout much of Alaska.
