Cherub Panflute Pendant Necklace – Handmade Sterling Silver 925 – Classical Mythology

A finely detailed sterling silver pendant hand-carved in wax and cast using the traditional lost wax technique, depicting a cherub playing a panflute — a classical motif reinterpreted as a contemporary wearable sculpture.

Every element of the design is individually carved by hand, from the soft anatomical modelling of the figure to the delicate structure of the instrument. The result is a composition that balances technical precision with expressive movement, retaining subtle tool marks that enhance its handcrafted depth and intimacy.

Suspended on an 18-inch sterling silver chain, the pendant sits close to the collarbone, designed to be worn as both a miniature sculpture and a personal talisman.

Maker’s Note

“Carving a figure this small in wax is one of the most demanding things I do. Every curve of the cherub's body, every reed of the panflute — all shaped by hand. I have always been drawn to the cherub figure — there is something timeless about it, something that has captivated artists for centuries. The challenge is making something so tiny feel truly alive.”
