By using the sand casting technique<\/strong>, popcorn kernels are pressed into the mold, preserving their intricate textures before being cast in silver. The result is a pendant or charm that retains the organic, irregular beauty of the original form.<\/p>\n

This mold is then brushed layer by layer with silver clay paste until a durable shape forms. After firing, the silver structure can be soldered onto a ring band or refined into a pendant, producing a tactile and playful piece of jewellery.<\/p>\n
