A forged necklace
A forged necklace is generally hand made
Making a forged necklace takes a master craftsman in the art. A very
basic definition of forging is that it is a process of heating,
pressing or pounding and cooling of a metal. There is also what they
call a cold forging process and it is often used in jewelry making
that leaves out the heating part of the process. Anything that is
hand made is wonderful but a forged necklace makes a very beautiful
gift.
The forged necklace is made with many different stones and metals.
Some stones, especially turquoise are used almost exclusively on
forged materials. The blue color of the turquoise is absolutely
beautiful on a silver setting. Silver seems to be the most widely
used metal in forged jewelry but gold, brass and copper are also
used. The fact that it is handmade makes it even more valuable.
You can buy a forged necklace at most jewelry or department stores,
online and through catalogs or by mail. You can also have them
custom made if you can find a master craftsman who will do it for
you. The price will range from the quite reasonable to the very
expensive. Most forged jewelry, made for both men and women, is on
the large side as far as jewelry goes so it is commonly worn with a
more casual wardrobe. For more information on
