We love these vintage style cardinal pendants! These whimsical cardinal birds feature wonderful details like feathers and holly leaves and even tiny berries. We've hand painted this pretty bird in rich reds, and even added glittering sparkles to the holly leaves and bright red holly berries. These pendants have been hand painted to look like enameled pendants and would look lovely on a plain chain, but you can also bead around them for a truly one of a kind design. This listing is for 1 pendant.
These pendants have been painted by the Dry Gulch gals in our studio in the Ozarks area of Missouri. Adding life to handmade jewelry by painting plain metal components is one of our favorite things to do. Our hand painted pendants and components can take up to to 2 days to complete in our studio!
These pendants are made of an antique silver plated base metal alloy and have been hand painted with metal-specific paints and patinas. No two pendants are ever exactly alike because of their hand painted nature. These pendants also feature glitter and shimmers for extra pizazz. The back side has not been painted. These pendants have been gently distressed for an old world chipped look and then sealed with glossy resin. The resin protects the color and imparts an enameled effect.
These pendants are medium in size, they are approximately 2" inches wide by 1-3/4" inches long. There is a 4mm loop for a jump ring. The photos in this listing include a ruler so you can see how big the pendant is. All photos have been taken outdoors in sunlight, but as always, computer and mobile screens display colors differently.
