Mountain
Sterling silver with copper plate - the copper plate is highly polished to a mirror finish I then use a technique "reticulation" which involves heating the silver taking it to melting point. While the silver is in semi liquid form I use a pic to form design and texture in the silver before it solidifies and fuses with the copper. This process may be repeated a number of times before the desired texture or design is achieved. I then use many different polishing techniques to achieve the final finish on the piece. This process allows for amazing textures and designs making every jewellery piece unique.
This pendant inspired by mountain ranges - This piece plateau shows its majesty rising sharply from the flat plains. The silver disc and strands signify the mountain reaching to plateau high above the plains. the disc is textured to show scaring from the millennia exposed to nature
