Full description

This free form pendant features a leaf shaped cabochon of bowlerite smoothly bezel set in sterling silver. Bowlerite is the name given to the hard plastic recovered from the outsides of vintage bowling balls, this ball had a swirled colour palette of mid blue and black with gold shimmer and must have been quite a sight as it rolled down the lanes. The setting has an open back so you can see the different pattern on the back (that has much broader sweeps of gold shimmer), it should be possible to wear it so the back is facing out. Bowlerite is warm to the touch and lightweight whilst the leaf shape is very tactile for those that like to fiddle with their jewellery. Given its previous life as a 10 pin bowling ball this would make a great gift for a bowling fan (or a lover of The Big Lebowski). I cut and polish this material myself and have a stash of rough in a range of colours so if you want something different please drop me a message and I'll see what I can do. The final photo shows some of the other bowlerite slabs I have, the piece in the middle is from the same ball as this pendant (rough not included in the sale).

Measures 46mm by 25mm (excluding the bail) and comes complete with an 18 inch sterling silver snake chain in a gift box. The bail is generous so if you wanted to pop it onto a leather cord for a more unisex look that should be possible.
