Duane Maktima sterling silver pendant and pin combination with 14k gold bail hook, which is removable. Duane inlaid this silver piece with opal, delicate line gold accents, and Rosarita. Rosarita is a unique and intriguing by-product of the gold smelting process. Gold smelting is a complex and fascinating process of extracting gold from ore by heating it to high temperatures. As the ore is heated, the gold separates from the other metals and sinks to the bottom, forming a molten pool of shimmering yellow liquid. Meanwhile, the non-metals in the ore solidify into stones of red, orange, and yellow. Dimensions 5″ X 2″ W
