The last 5 photos are of this necklace with its unique matching ring. The ring is not included in the purchase of this listing. This listing is only for the necklace. See below for more details about adding a custom matching wedding band.
Each pendant is handcrafted after purchase, therefore each pendant will look close to the photos, but will vary slightly with design work and with size. If this necklace is purchased with a custom ring, then the size will depend on the size of the ring, since the material used in the necklace will come from the material used in the ring.

More about this necklace:
This pendant was completely handcrafted out of .925 sterling silver, copper and brass. I oxidized the piece for a more antiqued and rustic finish. The copper and brass portion of this necklace is scrap metal recycled from other projects, or if you purchase a custom matching ring, the metal for the necklace will be cut from the excess material of the custom ring, making a perfect unique match.
Additionally, personally I am a bowler in my ‘spare time,’ (pun intended) and to me and other league bowlers, this is a fun gift for any bowler, as it resembles a bowling Spare.
Additional Information:
Please note, since each ring is completely handcrafted, texture markings and oxidation levels will vary from one necklace to the next. The temporary dark oxidation finish will eventually wear off completely, making the necklace the natural color of the metals. If you ever want your necklace refinished, I can do so for a $30 refinishing fee.
