Simple and contemporary pendant handmade in sterling silver and luxurious 14ct gold.

Details:
To create the poppy and the centre I start with a circle of both sterling silver and 14ct gold. 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 poppy has been tumbled to create a 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.
This design assists me to recycle the left over sterling silver from making other jewellery. This helps to ensure that only small scrap pieces are sent for refining, reducing the environmental impact.
