A one-of-a-kind sculptural pendant necklace with an organic oval form and an open centre.
Made from recycled sterling silver, the pendant began with leftover silver scraps which I melted together, then shaped and hammered by hand into its oval form. The process created a richly textured surface, with areas of reticulation where the silver has melted and drawn together, forming a pattern of subtle ridges and folds.
Inside the opening, a delicate section of recycled sterling silver beaded wire follows the curve, adding an intricate detail against the more expressive, reticulated surface.
Three small cubic zirconias – one black 2 mm stone and two white 1.5 mm stones – are set into the pendant, adding subtle points of light against the oxidised finish.
The pendant comes with an 18-inch diamond-cut link cable chain, finished with a handmade sterling silver S-clasp and loop.
Created during my Fine Jewellery Diploma, this piece is part of A Study in Silver.
