NECKLACE: silver, oxidised silver and freshwater pearls
Last week I had this design, the Pegasus Necklace, accepted for sale in the Hidden Art E-Shop (www.hiddenartlondon.co.uk, go to 'shop', search for my name under 'designer-makers') according to their strict selection criteria. I am very pleased to have my work available for sale through such a prestigious organisation, and hope to submit more designs in the future, so will keep you posted!
The wing pendant is silver that has been given a black/dark grey surface finish via the process of oxidation, using liver of sulphur. The dark finish makes for a more dramatic and striking design, and enables the engraved feather design to show up more clearly. The pearls are an unusual flat shape, roughly square in form, and I like the way that the positioning of the holes in the pearls means that when strung together they sit on alternate sides of the strand. This piece developed from the small sculptural unicorn/pegasus piece that I talked about earlier on this season (pictured at the bottom of the page).
