Before ‘Awesome is Possible’, the whole ‘Ordinary is my Enemy’ thing was my first ever mantra. And to this day, it helps shape my decisions. So one time, when I was in Bali and I got roped into going to a jewelry making class, I decided to make a pendant, (you can see my original effort and hear the story behind it below!), and that became the prototype for this much awesomer version.

One time when I was in Bali, I got talked into going to a silver jewelry making lesson. I was, not unsurprisingly, completely and utterly shit at it, but I did manage to bash out what went on to become the prototype for this particular pendant.
Lucky for you, I don’t make them now, instead I have an amazing local jeweler friend create them right here in my home town in South Australia.
These pendants are double sided, and made from fully genuine and legit, top quality 925 Stirling Silver just like all the fancy jewelry places use. They have an intentionally distressed finish so if you buy one, which you totally should, don’t go complaining yours isn’t all fancy and shiny. They’re supposed to be like that.
The pendant itself measures 20mm across and comes on a quality, German made, adjustable, round leather cord. I had no idea the Germans were famous for their round leather, but Susi the jeweler assures me it’s “the top notch stuff”. Thanks Susi.
You could take it off that and put it on your own neck chain, or wear it as a pendant on a bracelet. (Which is how I wear mine.)
They come delivered in a cool little ‘we’re all rustic and earthy’ jute burlap hessian drawstring pouch that could potentially be re-used as, ah, something else if you have an amazing imagination.
Here’s a picture of my effort. A bit shit. But all good things start somewhere. This pendant started here.
The prototype I made myself in Bali. Before I even thought of the idea of making them for real.
