This galloping horse was sawed by hand from 18 gauge Sterling Silver using a fine jewelry saw and has flowing contours with detailed cut and pierced design work, which were created by drilling a pilot hole, feeding a jewelry saw blade through the hole, and sawing out the forms by hand. A series of wire brushes were used to burnish the silver before finishing with a soft polishing wheel to add a subtle shine to the surface. The double-step polishing preserve the natural metallic grains, exemplifies the handmade appearance, and provides a touch of mixed iridescence depending on viewing angle and light spectrum.
The horse measures about 1.33 inch wide and comes with the sterling silver chain.
