Necklace with stripy pendant in recycled silver and gold.
Necklace with stripy pendant in recycled silver and gold.
This necklace is part of my Stripes collection. This series generally focuses on the effect created by stripes, but was inspired by the idea of ‘the space between’.
The pieces in this series are made from recycled silver and recycled gold foil. (Read here more about the materials and processes involved in making this series.) 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.
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.
The pendant 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.
Length: 42 cm
Size of pendant: 23 x 20 mm
