Rose Pendant
♢ Solid sterling silver (100% recycled for the rose)
♢ The rose was created in Metal clay, which is made up of tiny, recycled sterling silver metal particles mixed with and organic clay like binder. It can be sculpted, molded, and formed however I want. For this design I have hand sculpted each petal to form the opening rose, I then molded it to create matching sets of jewellery (check out the matching earrings in my shop!) After the designs dries 100% into my kiln it goes for a two-part firing process. The clay reaches 1500℉ for about an hour and the organic binder burns completely away leaving a solid sterling silver mini sculpture in its place.
♢ Using traditional silversmithing tools and techniques I have soldered on a loop for the chain and smoothed the back.
♢ I apply a dark patina to the recessed areas of each rose, and the earrings go into my tumbler with steel shot to harden and polish the surface. The high points are polished to a bright shine, creating a beautiful contrast. This contrast is what sterling silver is famous for!
♢ The Rose is probably the most popular flower in all of history. It universally represents love and passion.
♢ The birth flower of June is the Rose
♢ In Floriography, the secret symbolism of flowers during the Victorian era, a single rose in bloom said "I love you" or "I still love you."
♢ 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!
♢ The pendant is 1.3 cm from the top of the bail ring to the bottom petal. The rose has a diameter of .9 cm.
♢ Your choice of chain length and style in 16" ,18" or 20"
♢ Choose from solid sterling silver snake chian, satellite chain or link chain The model is wearing a 18" snake chain.
