Where are all my late June- early July babies out there? This 1970s Mid-Century Modern sterling silver crab pendant is the perfect accessory for a Cancer. The round medallion with organic edges is very reminiscent of that fabulous 70s Tiffany Zodiac collection. This pendant is a lost wax casting, meaning the artist created a wax model, covered it in plaster and fired it. The wax melted away leaving it’s imprint in the plaster, thus creating a jewelry mold. It really is a unique piece of art! The crab in the center of the pendant bears an abstract pattern on its back that reminds us of a face, but that just might be a case of pareidolia rather than the actual intent of the artist.  Not a Cancer and just a fan of crabs? That works too; crabs also symbolize perseverance, success, self-sufficiency, and the different paths you might take in life, all of which are worth celebrating.
