Spirit Otter Necklace/Pendant in Sterling Silver
A mystical otter floats on enchanted waters with a shell held in it's paws while magical energy swirls all around on this Otter Necklace. No matter if otter is your totem or spirit animal or if you just have an affinity for otters, this spirit animal otter pendant is for you. The symbolism of the otter includes that of playfulness, joy, curiosity and creativity. The otter is also a symbol of woman medicine, balanced female energy and love without jealousy. The scrolls and swirls on the otter and in the background show the mystical nature of this spirit animal.

As with all of my work this piece of woodland jewelry is my original design was created using the lost wax method. I first start by doing a detailed drawing of my intended subject. Then I sculpt my design in wax. I start with overall shape and form, then adding detail such as facial features, fur and scrolls. After the wax sculpture is complete it is cast in sterling silver, excess metal is removed, rough polished, linked together, soldered, patina applied, then completed by a final polish and a coating of Renaissance Wax for a soft satin glow. It is a time consuming process, but one that I thoroughly enjoy. For more detailed information on my wax sculpting and casting process go to www.mysticswan.biz and look at the "Casting Process" and "Wax Modeling" sections.
The only parts of this totem animal necklace that are not handmade by me are the jump ring, cord and gemstone.
Take the magical energy of this totem animal with you into everyday life.
