She draws each design by hand in pen and ink; her longtime caster's team builds the 3D model from the drawing, and she reviews it for scale and fidelity before casting. Each piece is cast from its own single 3D print, one print, one cast, rather than pulled from a reusable mold, so no two pieces are dimensionally identical. Weights and dimensions are nominal and vary slightly from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ashes or another irreplaceable trace are inside, the piece is not meant to be opened and closed casually or repeatedly, although it can be reopened when necessary. Water resistance has not been tested, so do not treat the piece as watertight. Contact Kavacha before filling it for guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kavacha Designs","offers":[{"title":"14K Gold","offer_id":46417406951521,"sku":"KD057GLD14","price":7790.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18K Gold","offer_id":46417406984289,"sku":"KD0057GLD18","price":10640.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2268\/2497\/files\/shakti-solid-gold-amulet-closed.jpg?v=1787343622","url":"https:\/\/kavachadesigns.com\/products\/shakti-openable-heirloom-amulet-necklace-in-solid-gold","provider":"kavachadesigns.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
