This one-of-a-kind pendant is built with movement, layered texture, and flowing structural form. Part of Shane’s Oro River Collection, the composition reflects the natural movement of water through terrain—translated into Argentium silver and fused 18k gold through dimensional, bench-forged metalwork.
Positioned within the Signature tier, this pendant reflects enduring materials, refined surface work, and sculptural flow.
Scale & Substance
Measuring approximately 1.75 inches, this pendant carries a balanced statement presence with dimensional depth and substantial structure. The flowing form creates natural movement across the surface, allowing the contours and layered elements to shift visually with light and angle.
Its proportions allow the pendant to stand independently while pairing naturally with heavier handcrafted chains.
Stone & Material Character
This piece is defined entirely by its metalwork. Argentium silver forms the foundation, carrying sculpted flowing lines that mimic the movement of a river across stone.
Throughout the pendant, raised “river rock” silver elements add dimensional texture and depth. A fused 18k gold dusted surface moves through the composition like a flowing current, introducing warmth and tonal contrast against the oxidized silver.
The interaction between polished highlights, oxidized depth, and fused gold creates a layered landscape within the metal itself.
Studio Process
This pendant is bench-forged through controlled handwork at the studio bench. Argentium silver is shaped and refined to establish the flowing structure, while dimensional silver accents are formed and integrated into the surface.
18k gold is fused directly into the pendant through heat and precision, creating the signature Oro River effect. Final oxidation and finishing enhance the depth, movement, and contrast throughout the composition.
