Paul’s hand forged witchcraft pendants are very popular! They are stamped with a pagan symbol onto a blank cut by Paul by hand. They are then rounded on a grinder and beveled. Then burnished with a fine wire rotary wire brush and then polished. Finally, they are heated to a high heat, known as “tempering” this not only makes the iron very hard but produces gorgeous iridescent color effects that look like oil on water! In fact, Paul calls it his “oil on water” finish. Still photos do not do the finish justice, as pendants move in the light you see different patterns and colors!
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!
The bail is suitable for a leather strap, wax cord or chain (not included).
Approximately 1.5 to 2 inches inches long.
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).
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!
