18k Gold and Argentium River Pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant is built with movement, texture, and enduring precious metals. Forged from Argentium silver and accented with solid 18k gold river rocks, the design captures the natural flow of a winding river moving through rugged terrain.

Positioned within the Signature tier, this pendant reflects refined bench-forged metalwork and a sculptural interpretation of the landscapes that inspire the Sterling Roots studio.

Scale & Substance

Measuring approximately 1.75 inches in length, this pendant carries a substantial presence with dimensional depth and visual weight. The flowing silhouette creates movement throughout the piece while maintaining a strong, balanced profile.

Its scale allows the details of the silverwork and gold accents to remain prominent from every angle.

Stone & Material Character

This piece is defined entirely by its metalwork. Argentium silver forms the foundation, shaped into a flowing river-like structure with organic contours and elevation changes throughout the design.

Solid 18k gold river rocks are integrated into the composition, creating contrast against the silver while introducing warmth and depth. The raised gold elements act as focal points along the river's path, reinforcing the terrain-inspired character of the pendant.

The interaction between bright Argentium silver and rich 18k gold creates a layered landscape of texture and light.

Studio Process

This pendant is bench-forged through extensive handwork at the studio bench. The Argentium silver structure is formed and refined to establish the flowing river composition, while each solid 18k gold river rock is individually shaped and incorporated into the design.

Every contour, texture, and transition is developed through controlled tool work, creating a pendant that balances movement, structure, and material integrity.
