Spiral Sun Pendant Necklace, Polymer Clay Petroglyph Handmade Jewelry

The "Desert Sun" handmade necklace features an artisan spiral sun pendant, carnelian gemstones and copper - unique Southwest inspired jewelry.

Filled with an ancient wonder of the magic of petroglyphs, the DESERT SUN handmade necklace is a perfect jewelry gift for the woman who loves the beauty of the Desert Southwest. The unique necklace features a one of a kind, artisan spiral sun pendant created from polymer clay, two sizes of carnelian and copper. Inspired by Anasazi petroglyphs found painted on canyon walls and caves in the Four Corners area, spiral suns are a symbol of healing and also represent the natural movements and rhythms of life, the constant motion of the universe. The  rustically shaped pendant has a freehand hand carved spiral sun design on white polymer clay. After curing, the pendant was painted w/ earthy desert colored pigments.  A very light coat of a sealer was applied to keep the colors bright for years to come. The backside of the pendant is  inscribed with the artist’s mark, a spiral P.   Two sizes of carnelian gemstones perfectly highlight the earthy petroglyph pendant. As you can see in the photos, the carnelian ranges in colors from dark orange to almost white. The larger round gemstones are faceted for subtle sparkle. Between each faceted stone are a single carnelian round.   A copper s-clap with a raised design finishes the beautiful necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the spiraling DESERT SUN pendant necklace was created for the woman who adores talismanic petroglyph jewelry and the enchantment of the Desert Southwest.

The unique petroglyph-inspired pendant was created from white polymer clay with an incised spiral sun design.
