Neolithic Arrowhead Hammered Sterling Silver Pendant

Carved from flint and agate, our 'Ancient Artefacts' collection consists of arrow heads, spear heads, cutting tools and axe heads. Each item has been hand knapped (shaped by striking) by a Neolithic man about 10,000 years ago and used in his day to day life! They have been collected in recent years from the Sahara Desert by Nomadic camel trading tribes; mainly the Tuareg people.

Our Neolithic Artefacts are in superb condition and would make great collectors pieces and also lend themselves brilliantly to a unique display piece for the budding historian.

Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content.  Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver".  At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
