Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes , which includes over 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the gregarious burrowing owl. Gift Wrapping: All items are sent gift wrapped as pictured. Reusable burlap drawstring sack colors may vary depending on stock. Please message me if you have a preference. SIZE AND DETAIL: See pictures for dimensions. Each pendant contains approximately 4.0 grams of fine silver. I handcraft each piece so weight may vary slightly. All my materials are recycled and/or natural. HOW IT"S MADE: I made this fine silver pendant using Art Clay Silver (PMC). ..999 and .950 After I shape the piece, I fire it in my jewelry kiln for 2 hours at 1650 degrees. I give it a bath in patina and polish it to a high shine. Most of my jewelry is made to order but I usually craft them within a month or so of sale. RECYCLED SHIPPING!!! I am so happy to announce that I use 100% RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE shipping material!! I have looked the world over for the most sustainable shipping supplies and I've finally found the perfect combo. From envelope to your gift box or bag. I even up-cycle my shredded scrap paper as padding! I will use my packing tape until it runs out, so not to waste, but then its paper tape as well. Love your earth!! CARE INSTRUCTIONS: It's so easy! Fine silver doesn't tarnish easily, in fact I have a couple of pieces I haven't polished in a year or so. Just get a silver polishing cloth, when you notice a little change in the silver brilliance, just rub it with the cloth a few times! It will not disappoint. (I offer a polishing cloth with the purchase of two pieces) Please message me for your free cloth as I don't want to send an unwanted cloth. :) NECKLACE INFO AND OPTIONS: I offer a free adjustable (to 26") 1.5 mm cord necklace. You can choose from a waxed linen cord (water resistant, durable and plant based), genuine red leather cord, or pendant only. Both cord types are adjustable. In addition, I also offer sterling silver chain in 18". Please message me if you require a longer chain. SHOP TALK: You are a wonderful person! I want everyone that is browsing handmade and small business shops to know that you mean the world to us. So thank you to all my thoughtful shoppers! ~LP.
