Necklace with square silver and gold pendant. HBM133
Necklace with square silver and gold pendant. HBM133
This necklace is part of my Lines and Patterns series. You can read here more about it.
The pieces in this series are made from recycled silver and recycled gold. The 24ct gold foil is attached to the silver through a process called Keum-Boo – an ancient Korean technique of heat-bonding pure gold foil to silver.
The square pendant has irregular sides, is slightly domed and is threaded onto 3 rows of flexible stainless spiral steel neck wire with a double-clip clasp. The neck wire was sourced from a company which produces this extremely flexible wire which is made by winding a flat wire around a specially constructed centre. This ensures maximum protection against kinking of the wire.
The pendant is completely removable from the neck wire. This is due to UK hallmarking regulations.
As all pieces are usually made to order, slight variations in the patterns may occur.
Materials : Recycled sterling silver, recycled 24ct (fine) gold foil (13 microns thick). All jewellery is hand-made by myself in my workshop and all pieces are hallmarked at the London Assay Office. At the time when the photograph was taken they had not yet been hallmarked.
Length: 42 cm
Size of pendant: 13x12 mm
