Description: Koi and Lily Pads Pendant is a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, hand carved and hand-engraved by Washington artist Tom Sterling. This pendant clearly shows Tom's experience making netsuke (small sculptural objects, or toggles, usually worn to suspend objects hung from the sash of the kimono).
The pendant depicts a detailed pond scene, with a lone koi searching for a meal and surfacing amid a layer of lily pads.
Tom carved this one-of-a-kind pendant by hand out of 416 stainless steel, and then inlaid 24k gold on the koi. The work is extremely intricate and finely detailed. The steel was then set atop a silver backing, and hung upon a silver hanger.
It is accompanied by a 20 inch leather cord necklace.
