Medium Marquise Pod Pendant
♢ Solid sterling silver
♢ To create this pendant I constructed a master from solid silver, forming each circle from silver wire by hand and melting the silver into little balls. When the master was perfect I had a mold made and cast it into solid sterling silver. This is a limited edition collection as I personally hand finish each pendant by sanding and polishing the surface until it shines.
♢ I have applied a dark patina to the recessed areas to create a beautiful contrast. The contrast between the shiny bright white polished surface and the dark harder to reach area is what sterling silver is famous for!
♢ The back of the pendant features a hidden bail for the chain to slide through. I really wanted to keep the elegant and streamlined elongated shape the focus. The pendant almost looks as if it is floating on the chain when worn.
♢ I love gardening -- it is my biggest source of inspiration. I am drawn into all the little details and symbolism literally blooming all around me. As a metalsmith and jewellery designer I am fascinated with capturing the moment and transforming it into sterling silver. Jewellery is lasting, it does not fade like a flower and becomes a tiny little treasure box full of memories!
♢ Seeds and seed pods especially fascinated me and are very prominent in many of my designs. The seed represents hope, perseverance, and potential. It is a symbol of encouragement.
♢ For this specific design I was thinking about a seed pod bursting open and the seeds cascading out of the pod.
♢ This pendant is the medium version in my collection of marquee shaped seed pods. It measures 3.8 cm long x .9 cm wide.
♢ Please note I have a photo with the coordinating studs, this listing is for the medium version pendant only.
