Impression Pendants use found textures in the physical world as jewelry molds. They are made by creating impressions from textures found around the world from historically and culturally significant landmarks and objects. The result is a modern fossil captured in precious metal.
This impression is from the front facade of The Decker Building, the site of Andy Warhol's studio, known as "The Factory." Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement. His New York studio called “The Factory” was a gathering place of artists, celebrities, drag queens, playwrights, and Bohemians. In 1967 he relocated his studio to the 6th floor of 33 Union Square West (The Decker Building) in New York City.
Each pendant is individually hand-sculpted and hand-fired with recycled Japanese fine silver (999FS). This fine silver has been specially formulated to be more durable than typical fine silvers. Like all fine jewelry, handle with care.
Silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to the elements and will require occasional cleaning. Look for silver polishes, solutions, or cloths appropriate to remove tarnish at most hardware or specialty craft stores. Avoid exposing silver to household chemicals when cleaning with bleach or ammonia, or when swimming in chlorinated water.
