Hand forged by Paul in Michigan.
Paul’s polished leaf pendants are very popular! They are stamped with a pagan symbol and a chisel used to create the leaf veins. Beveled and polished, they are then heat treated for several hours to create the crazy “oil on water” translucent finish, they really shimmer different colors in the light!
This one is the Crying Moon Sigil, sometimes known as the Wicca Blessings Moon design!
Every piece is unique, so the one you get will look very similar to the one in the picture but will not be exactly the same. These are literally made by hand by a working USA pagan blacksmith and NOT a cheap knock off mass produced by a machine press in India or China! You can use the comments section in your order to specify if you prefer more pink/gold or more purple/blue… The higher temperature gives strong blues and purples whereas a lower color is more gold/red/pinks. So if you have a strong preference then let us know! But even then please bear in mind Paul has only so much control as to the final finish.
The bail is suitable for a leather strap, wax cord or chain (not included).
Regular leaf shapes are approximately 1.25 inches wide and 1.5 to 2” inches long with the bail.
The Oak leaf shapes are slightly longer from 2 to 2.5 inches.
Paul starts with 1.25 inch wide iron bar stock he uses for his famous athames and bolines! He then heats the bar to 1800 degrees and stamps the design and forges and shapes the bail. Once cooled he then grinds a bevel around the edge to catch the light and smooth the edges, and uses special ceramic sanding belts to bevel the edges and smooth the face, he does this down to 400 (fine grit). The pendant is then highly polished and heat treated for two hours to make the colors!
A gorgeous and very unique hand forged ritual jewelry adornment and amulet for pagans, heathens, witches, wiccans, asatru and lovers of things Celtic and magick!
