Gold foil is applied with heat and pressure to produce a permanent bond with the sterling silver. This Korean gilding technique is called Keum-boo and has been used to produce this stunning necklace. Each pendant is one of a kind and no two will look exactly the same. The surface has been textured, the edges smoothed and polished for a shiny finish.
It is recommended to wash silver by hand in warm water with a mild detergent. If the necklace is not worn it is advisable to store it airtight and completely dry for the silver not to tarnish.
