What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

When bismuth is melted and cooled, it transforms into beautifully colored crystals. Ernie McElhannon harnesses this natural metamorphosis to create his vibrant pieces.

  • Each necklace is handcrafted with bismuth crystals in a process that allows for a wide range of size and sparkle variation.
  • These crystals are molded into a glistening yellow sun that’s paired with sterling silver.
  • Each pendant is 1.6 in diameter on an 18 chain.
  • Handmade in Kentucky.

Kentucky-based Ernie McElhannon’s career as an artist is long and diverse. Studying art education and sculpture, he first worked as a sculptor before transitioning to education, where he taught kindergarten through college. When Ernie’s son was in middle school, they collected the periodic table elements and were particularly fascinated with the 83rd, bismuth. After experimenting with the crystal creation process, Ernie was hooked and now crafts pieces featuring this kaleidoscopic element.
