{"product_id":"brass-etched-gong-necklace","title":"Brass Etched Gong Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gong is an East and Southeast Asian musical percussion instrument that takes the form of a flat, circular metal disc which is hit with a mallet. The gong traces its roots back to the Bronze Age around 3500 BC.  I saw my first gong up close where I trained to be a yoga teacher.   My yoga teacher described it as shortcut to a higher level of consciousness.    I was inspired to design my own little gong to be worn as a necklace. There is no mallet with my necklace.  It is NOT a miniature musical instrument.   It is to remind the wearer to their connection to the gong \u0026amp; higher vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy gong starts with a  1 1\/2\" piece of round brass which I etch to create a gong-like pattern.  I use a salt water electricity method.  Each etch turns out differently, making a one-of-a-kind result.   I solder each connection between the brass pendant and sterling silver chain.  I hammer out a piece of thick brass wire to create the curved hanging bar.  I patina the pendant to bring out the hammered texture and etch.  The necklace part is made with black flat suede cord 2 mm in thickness.  You will not find a gong like this anywhere else.  This piece is extremely well made and will stand the test if time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional specs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNecklace length to hanging bar: 20 inches\u003cbr\u003eWith extension chain: 21 inches\u003cbr\u003eLength from hanging bar to bottom of gong: 2 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf I am making your gong to order, the creation time is 1-3 days then shipping is based on your location (see shipping details).\u003cbr\u003eI also gift wrap your order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seaside Harmony Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49178459898160,"sku":"","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1612\/4987\/files\/Moran_gong_close_up_seaside_harmony.jpg?v=1729553269","url":"https:\/\/seaside-harmony-jewelry.myshopify.com\/products\/brass-etched-gong-necklace","provider":"Seaside Harmony Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
