This design in sterling silver, tourmaline and garnet uses wire weaving and cold connections to bind the components together and shape the piece. My inspiration was an imagining of a dark and beautiful spiritual dimension with currents of energy floating through vast space. There are references to symbols such as the ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus , planetary alignments and pathways and the sacred geometry of spirals and triangles.

I first sketched the design to create a paper template, then formed the thicker wires into shape as I worked, whilst binding them into place in a very involved process using fine wire. You can see the detail of the texture if you enlarge the first image at the left. I’ve oxidised and re-polished the silver to highlight the texture and method of creation.

The pendant measures 5.5cm across and is strung on a 20” sterling silver snake chain (also oxidised and re-polished). If you would prefer a different length of chain, please get in touch.
