18k Gold Oro River Pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant is built with rich material contrast, sculptural texture, and enduring form. Crafted from both 18k gold and Argentium silver, the design reflects the movement of water through terrain, expressed through layered textures, dimensional river rock elements, and flowing metallic landscapes.

Positioned within the Signature tier, this pendant represents elevated bench-forged metalwork and the rare combination of substantial precious metals within a single composition.

Scale & Substance

Measuring almost 1.75 inches in length, this pendant carries a strong, balanced presence with noticeable weight and dimensional depth. The oval form provides a substantial canvas for the layered textures and raised elements that define the Oro River design.

A large bail is integrated into the structure, allowing the pendant to pair comfortably with heavier handcrafted chains.

Stone & Material Character

This piece is defined entirely by its precious metalwork. Warm 18k gold flows across the surface in a dusted texture that evokes sunlight reflecting on moving water.

Dimensional 18k gold river rock accents are layered throughout the composition, creating depth and visual movement. Argentium silver introduces contrast through its own dusted textures and sculpted river rock elements, creating a landscape of shifting tones and elevations.

The interaction between rich gold and luminous silver gives the pendant exceptional visual depth while highlighting the natural inspiration behind the design.

Studio Process

This pendant is bench-forged through extensive handwork at the studio bench. Argentium silver and 18k gold are individually shaped, textured, and integrated to create the layered Oro River composition.

Dusted textures are applied through controlled metalworking techniques, while the raised river rock elements are individually formed and positioned to create movement across the surface. Final refinement preserves the dimensional character of the piece while emphasizing the relationship between gold and silver.
