This delicate necklace has a sterling silver rose pendant suspended from a simple sterling silver chain.
The rose has four layers of 'petals' - each created from an organic cup-like shape, one nested inside the other.
To create the rose I start with circles of varying sizes cut from sterling silver. The circles are then beaten with a variety of hammers to build up an organic texture on the metal and to make the edges uneven. The circles are finally domed and then placed on a handmade sterling silver headpin, which is coiled around and soldered to form an organic-looking connection to hang from the chain.
The rose has been tumbled to create a bright and sparkly finish.
The necklace is approximately 43cm (17") in length. I can generally change the length of this necklace - just include a note when you checkout indicating the size you'd like.
This design assists me to recycle the leftover sterling silver from making other jewellery. This helps to ensure that only small scrap pieces are sent for refining, reducing the environmental impact.
