This design incorporates a silver plated floral filigree pendant that I've treated treated to add a rainbow gun metal gray patina, which makes each one unique. The pendant is laminated to a slightly smaller (1.75"/45mm) acrylic disc to complete the whorl - then it, and matching top and bottom side filigree bead caps with a gold plated multi-crystal spacer inside, another another crystal spacer and silver plated findings are on all mounted onto a signature John Galen high-carbon steel shaft with a heat forged hook and painted in an industrial quality 2-part (color/gloss) powder coat paint. The additional bead caps and findings have been treated with the same gun-metal gray patina as the pendant and all components are assembled with an industrial quality 2-part epoxy resin for long life
This is an amazing and versatile light weight spinner that has a fast spin and plenty of rim weight to handle anything from cotton and other short staple fibers - to longer staple fine fibers as well.

I'm new to using spindles (have a little bit of experience with a spinning wheel) but this is a dream to use as a beginner and so beautifully mesmerising to watch! Really happy with this choice. I was also impressed with how quickly it got to me in New Zealand.
