I recently received the finished mirasmiellus candidus mushroom pendant from production and am really pleased with how it turned out. It’s pretty small and even so the detail is great. It also hangs and lays really well when you wear it. Check out the pics below and the listing on Etsy!

Silver Honeycomb Pendant

Freshly photographed and available at the Etsy shop, here’s the honeycomb pendant in sterling silver!  I’m really happy with how this turned out, especially considering it was 3D printed, and 3d printed polished sterling has been a little touch and go. Success!
