A sculptural elephant head hangs low at the throat, wide ears sweeping outward and a downswept trunk anchoring the composition. The silver-toned surface catches light across the raised planes and settles darker into the recesses.

  • Material: Pewter zinc alloy, lead- and nickel-free, black leather cord
  • Color: Silver, black
  • Length: 22 in
  • Finish: Antiqued silver-tone
  • Origin: Türkiye
  • Pendant: 4 x 3.5 in

At roughly four inches across, the pendant is deliberately oversized — one sculptural element that carries the neckline without competition. The leather cord keeps the line lean and dark against skin, letting the metal read as the only object in the frame.

Details
  • Sculptural elephant-head silhouette
  • Antiqued pewter finish
  • Textured ears and trunk detail
  • Black leather cord
  • Alloy tube beads at the closure

Each pendant is hand-cast and hand-finished, so small differences in surface texture and antiquing are normal from one piece to the next.

The Story

The piece comes from Türkiye's alloy-casting workshops, which specialize in figurative metalwork — animal-form pendants built to read dimensionally rather than flat. The making, not the imagery, is what ties it to its place of origin.

Each pendant starts as a wax or metal master. Molten pewter zinc alloy is cast into a mold that captures the texture of the ears and trunk, then cleaned of seams by hand. An antiquing solution darkens the recesses; hand-rubbing brings the raised planes back to a brighter tone. That contrast is what gives the finish its sculptural depth.

The elephant is a common subject in figurative jewelry worldwide, but it is not native to Turkish folklore. Read it as a piece of bold metal craft rather than as an assigned symbol.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Cast pewter alloy metalwork

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep away from water, perfume and lotion to preserve the antiqued finish.

The company was great! I lost a tusk, and the company replaced my elephant necklace. I don’t wear this very often, but when I do wear it, I get a lot of compliments. I just love this necklace and the company couldn’t be nicer.
