I'm in love with this sculpted piece, which is hand forming and highly textured and I'm guessing is unique and by a studio artist and I may never learn who made it, though I understand why they did. It is marked with a double-struck 925S stamp and has an impressed design above that.

Does anyone recognize the stamp? Please let me know! It has developed such a rich patina and is so textured there could be other marks but I would need to clean it to find them and I am sorta in love with the shadows and depth this has as is, so I'm not planning to clean it.

Also, it has a pocket and an elevated section with the applied tubes that lift away from the bottom layer and there's a wee bit of green in that pocket. Is it safe to leave the green or should I try to neutralize or scrape off the bit of green inside the pocket? Thoughts? Thank you so much for looking! I always learn a lot on this site.

Hi,

You are far more likely to get responses if you embed your images as very few people will click on thumbnails or links.

Hi,
Have resized and embedded images of the pendant.
1. The artist would be very difficult to identify, being one of many studio jewelers whose marks are not documented. Unless the mark is recognized by someone who recalls having bought similar piece directly from the artist, or you find similar piece online (slim chance).
2. I think it`s artificial patina, meant to look like this, and I would not clean it. Just wash it.

Thank you for your answers. I had trouble remembering how to embed photos and my attempts didn't show on the preview so I couldn't tell if they would show in the post! I appreciate you taking the time to embed the image. Will try to wash away the green and leave the fun industrial patina.

Hi,
Do not use abrasive cleaners. It was meant to look like this and I find it appealing.Looks like moss. It`s hand made, small sculpture.
Cheers
