2023 Game Puzzle Pendant

2023 Game Puzzle Pendant, by Joel (Sargent Pepper) Briggs.

Sargent Pepper writes, “I present the final Game Puzzle Pendant.
This is a two-piece pendant. The gold piece can be worn as a hat pin or affixed to the main piece to give it depth or play a spin game.  The finish is a foggy gold and silver finish with a thick clear coat to protect it from the spinning and the hard playa elements.   300 made and 5 sterling silver/18k gold made.

This pendant was also a mold experiment with understanding finishes.  The results were spectacular and will be used going forward on all molds.

There is a hidden feature within the pendant for message cryptography.  In fact, here is the first clue: 2E, 6S, 4G, I, 8T, S, 10D, BH, 7WP, 7WA, 1K, and A.  Flat to the north at 1425.  HINT: Look for alphabet characters that are not present. This will make it easier.
